My review of Hater by David Moody has been published in the June issue of SFRevu. Here's a taste:

Hater is a fast and furious read, with bloody action piled upon horrific incident piled upon gruesome violence. The human race is at war with itself, with everything you can imagine that would entail. The writing is clean and sharply focused, the plotting strong and the everyday details believably described.

Even so, this is not a book that one can love, or even dislike. It is horror as product. That is, it offers thrills and chills, makes one tear through it quickly, and is as quickly forgotten. There is nothing new or exciting here. Although the book seems to be meant as a fable for our overcrowded, violent world, it fails to work well from that perspective. Undoubtedly, you will enjoy this book for the time it takes you to read it, but it will not stay with you long.

Hope you enjoy the review!
