Quarantine

Quarantine by Lex Thomas
McKinley High is just like any other high school with one big difference, it is next door to a company that manufactures illegal biological weapons. They kidnap and do experiments on local teenagers. The government finds out about it and decides to to shut them down. During the raid one of the infected teenagers escapes and hides in the high school. The adults are all killed and the students become carries of this deadly virus. In order to contain the virus the government decides to quarantine the school and all of its occupants. With all the adults dead, the students are left to survive on their own. This sets the stage for absolute chaos. It is the ultimate battle for survival.

I really enjoyed this book. It is the Hunger Games and Lord of the Flies on steroids. Is it a literary marvel? No, but it is action packed and entertaining. There are some slow spots but this gives you a chance to catch your breath. This book is not for everyone. There is a lot of violence and there is some offensive language but if you can get past it  and you like survival stories this one won't disappoint.
