Finished "The Girl with All the Gifts" by M.R. Carey. This book is subtitled, "Not every gift is a blessing." The first thing I will say about this: Mr. Carey writes like I do. Well, more likely I write like he does, but whatever. The style of the writing was really familiar - a well polished version of something really familiar, if I'm honest.
This book reminded me thematically of The Taking, by Dean Koontz, which was the book I read that inspired me to write my first NaNoWriMo novel back in 2008, "Imbued." I liked it. The Taking was a spookier book to me as I recall, thinking back 12 years ago, but this was a good story with some military thrown in, like Imbued. The circle is complete. 😁
