THEY CALL IT THE PLAGUE
A generation of children born with extreme genetic mutations

They might be right
The story of a lost generation, and a boy who just wants to be one of us.

Critics Review
The Girl with All The Gifts meets To Kill A Mockingbird
It’s quite rare to find a story with this much heartbreaking impact . . . this is skilful, powerful stuff
A tense thriller with a social conscience . . . an effective, and often moving, portrayal of injustice and prejudice
Potent and powerful . . . DiLouie is an emotionally literate writer, able to see the moral complexities of the revolution he sets in motion, and its likely destination . . . captivating
An amazing tour-de-force . . . One of Us rattled me to the core. An engrossing, emotionally-charged book and a work of terrible beauty. I loved it, heart and soul
One of Us is a powerful and heartbreaking tale about hate fear, and truth. Craig DiLouie is fearless as he explores the dark territory of the human heart
Frightening in its familiarity, One of Us is a tale of human monsters and monstrous humans – authentic, brutaland inevitable
This seamless fable of loss, violence and hope forces us to examine what it means to be different and what it means to be human
Craig DiLouie’s One of Us is without a doubt one of the best books I’ll read this year . . . This book has The Island of Dr Moreau‘s social conscience, the X-men‘s imagination and Harper Lee’s heart. But it is DiLouie’s skill as a storyteller that blends all of that into a compelling work of near perfection
This is not a kind book, or a gentle book, or a book that pulls its punches. But it’s a powerful book and it will change you
An unflinching and at times, harrowing look at the nature of hatred . . . I devoured it in one day . . . and it will stay with me for a long time
Disturbing, beautiful and all-too believable, One of Us is a phenomenal monster story and a powerhouse of a novel. DiLouie continues to be the master of writing the human heart and all the terror it contains
You shouldn’t believe there aren’t any truly original stories out there anymore, because One of Us is one of a kind
Will stay with you long after the book is done
Dark and disturbingly visceral . . . a worthwhile read
One of Us is a stunning achievement in speculative fiction
A beautifully constructed tragic tale of prejudice and where it leads. Several times through the course of listening to this audiobook, my heart broke into tiny pieces for things that happened. I cannot recommend this book enough
