By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.Edmund BurkeThere are rats and then there are RATS. A scientist has brought back an oversized rat from a radioactive island, and he begins breeding it with the local London rats. These rats are famous in their own right for bringing down London more than once with plague in the long, distant past. Obviously, we all need bigger rats, right? That would be a negatory. Rats do what rats do best which is out rabbit rabbits in the area ofI did not expect to read a novel first published in 1974 and find it so gruesome as a modern-day reader! This was probably a massive oversight on my part, given that this was the book that defined a genre!Herbert's The Rats gives a chilling insight to what a world overrun, with the creatures that bear their name in the title, would look like. There is a central story-line but this is interspersed with an assortment of additional narratives that relay confrontations with these terrifying
"The rats had had their fill of his body, but were still hungry. So they searched. Searched for more food of the same kind. They had tasted their first human blood."There's a new breed of rat in London, England, and they're bigger, more intelligent and more vicious than their predecessors.

I feel I cannot stress that enough before I begin this review, because The Rats proves that was not always the case. Now do not get me wrong, this book is actually quite entertaining, and dont let
Three and half starsI read The Fog a few months ago and I was curious about The Rats, the first novel from the author and a success that made Mr. Herbert instantly known; and when I saw it in the Kindle Flash discounts, I could not resist. Despite its fame, as Neil Gaiman comments in the prologue, it is still a first work and and you can see it in some aspects, but the pace is good and the reading is very entertaining.The characters are well described. Somehow their behavior seems more like a
Read this for Genre. Lacking in horror and excitement. Lackluster descriptions of the rats, to say the least. Harris, main protagonist, is dull and drawn into saving London for no valid reason it seems. The book is incredibly sexist. His girlfriend is nothing more than a cutout that the main character has sex with and cooks him meals. Twice on the book he commands her to make him a meal, rest of the time he just tells her about the amazing dangers he experienced fighting the rats. Every other
