This got a much lower rating the first time I read it - on revisiting it, I can see why - we have one of the least likable protagonists I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

Daniel is a man who has fallen into a life he no longer recognises and certainly never wanted. Married, with three surprise children (you'd think they'd have figured out the problem by at least number two!), stuck in a dead end job - and blaming everyone else for it. Certainly not someone you'd pick as a potential survivor of the new plague that strikes without warning, turning mother against child and causing extreme acts of violence.

But it's the second part of the book where he starts to really come into his own, and becomes someone I'm almost ready to root for.

I'm glad I came back to this book, and I think if the series continues where it left off it'll be worth the struggle of the first half.
