Tooth And Nail: From the iconic #1 bestselling author of A SONG FOR THE DARK TIMES

Product Information

Sadly, he could not dismiss the veil of shadows, since doing that would reveal his identity as Mongrel to a lot of strangers. The members of his own cohort had already seen enough, most likely, but he somewhat trusted them to keep his secret. Due to the fact that Sunny had kept them alive through several dire battles, the bonds of loyalty were already forming between the six soldiers and their captain. The first thing to go was the Dying Wish. Although it brought benefit to his soldiers and, to a lesser degree, to all Irregulars he simply could not allow the expenditure of essence that both the [Death Wish] and the [Underworld Armament] required. From a reader perspective....yeah. A bit less. Other reviewers have said that some of the writing is very awkward and weird, and it is. And I don't mean the "SAT word" sentences. Like, it's going to be hard to use academic vocabulary this much, you know? I expected some weirdness. But some of these sentences were just like, WEIRD. No one would talk like this, ever. Again--this isn't about using the big words. It's just.......wow these characters are unbelievable. The whole situation is pretty unbelieveable. 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. As always, there are a few critiques to go with the praise. I wasn’t fond of the tense in which DiLouie told the story. At times it jumbled the scene. And, of course, you will find a typo or two. However, Tooth and Nail is a clean read for a small press.

Congratulations. You have just done something very smart--something commendable and meritorious, as the people who write the SAT would probably put it. The book you're holding in your hands offers you a fun, effective way to prepare for the SAT.All of this is making it sound like Tooth and Nail is a poor book when it most certainly is not. It's a perfectly serviceable one. It just isn't great like The Infection. Otra cosa que me sorprendió de esta novela es que realmente se da una explicación detallada, real y creíble del origen de la epidemia y eso se agradece completamente, no es como todas esas otras historia en las que nadie tiene idea de como surgió el virus. Además de que las escenas están muy bien descritas y el lector puede imaginarse cada una de las situaciones que presenta el autor. Journalist Jim Stevens from Knots and Crosses and non-Rebus book Watchman makes a cameo appearance, again basing off his status quo in Watchman.

Example #4: “The government is fighting tooth and nail to eradicate corruption, terrorism and other social issues from the country.” 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!). 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.

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. 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. The phrase “tooth and nail” is said to have originated from Sir Thomas More’s In A Dialogue of Comfort and Tribulation, published in 1535, where it is stated as; “They would fayne kepe them as long as euer they mighte, euen with tooth and nayle.”

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.Craig DiLouie's Tooth & Nail is a zombie story filled with practically non-stop action and very realistic detail. It is obvious that DiLouie did his research before or while writing this novel. Tooth & Nail is very military focused and while I have a little bit of knowledge, I do not know a lot of the details of the military world. Therefore, I asked my husband as I was reading questions here and there about whether this would work, would they really do such and such and each time he affirmed that what I was reading was spot on. The military personal are very realistic and believable, there are no SUPERSOLDIERS who do extraordinary feats. They are simply men doing their job in a world that's gone to hell. At that moment, the veil of shadows created by the Shadow Lantern finally dissipated. The Irregulars saw a stunning image... Example #1: “Last year, I met a serious accident that badly affected my performance in office. I suffered both physically and mentally. Now recovered, I am trying to fight tooth and nail for the promotion I failed to achieve last time.”
