Product Information

I think this book is PERFECT for that. Wow, this book will be such a challenge for my students to read. I'm very excited to use it with them. From a teacher perspective 5 stars. This book is awesome. Tooth & Nail shows us a very human side to the military during a situation in which NOBODY can really train. They have self doubt. The make good/bad decisions and all along the way their characters develop to where the reader feels a certain kinship to what they are going through. Please, gods, let it stop... let it stop... let it stop... argh, damnation, this is such crap! What the hell?! What kind of damned situation is this?!'

But I am pretty sure my ESL students won't be at the level where they are engaging with the 2-dimensional nature of the characters, so I'm not too worried about it. The biggest issue for me though, was that for some reason the author decided to skip past chunks of story that, as an apocalyptic/horror/action fan, I would have liked to have read. He also chose to cut to different scenes pretty abruptly, deciding to wrap up the previous scene by telling the reader what happened instead of allowing us to "see" it for ourselves. This particular book (1) terrified the hell out of me and (2) made me very glad I am no longer active duty. Then again, this book is about an Army battalion. For the record, the Marine unit took over Staten Island and killed everything. Oorah. This is my first experience reading author Craig Dilouie and I was pretty impressed. Out of the dozens of zombie novels I’ve read over the years, this was the first to really focus on the military aspect of the plague (other than Jonathan Maberry’s PATIENT ZERO, but that concentrated more on an isolated covert operation and included only a sprinkling of zombie action) Usually the military is used in the periphery, but in TOOTH AND NAIL, Dilouie drags the reader not only into the middle of the action, but into the minds of the soldier. Like any group of people, you have the good and bad, the courageous and cowardly.It's also pretty light on the whole anatomy of a virus scenario - this is something that has resulted to me skimming in other novels of the same genre (I read these books for a guilty pleasure, not to increase my knowledge of virology!). Similarly - although, of course, in a different manner - the other members of the cohort experienced the bolstering effect of the Dying Wish, as well. All of them fought like devils, earning themselves a fearsome reputation among the Irregulars. Once the most damning evidence was gone, Sunny had no reason to keep the Shadow Lantern active, so he dismissed it as well.

Oh, and the infected ARE the main threat here. The only one. None of that mohawk wearing, dirtbike raiding gang of accountants-turned-marauders nonsense we get to read in so many zombie novels.Keeping the shadow sword tangible was eating through what little he had left with frightening speed, but the worst offender was the Shadow Lantern. A Divine Memory was as gluttonous as one would think. On top of that, there were the Dying Wish and the Mantle of the Underworld. Sunny killed a few more enemies, barely avoided a stream of acid that one of the monstrous insects spat, and retaliated by neatly severing its body in half. Gut-wrenching. Lots of military action, lingo, names, ranks, acronyms etc. I couldn't really follow who was who, but you get there. Really good, really scary and horrible. Lots of shooting and stabbing and dying. Always with the dying. But there is humor and there are good people doing their job even when it seems like they are the only ones doing it. Tooth and Nail is a 1992 crime novel by Ian Rankin, originally entitled Wolfman. It is the third of the Inspector Rebus novels.
