Overall I found the concept interesting, there is a flood (no pun intended) of zombie apocalypse books out at the moment but the idea of the rain being poisoned was different.

Tense, scary, and high emotion, The Rain will have you on the edge of your seat and afraid to step outside.dark-readers.com

A gripping- page turner with moments of surreal humour and great tenderness - not to mention dread as the raindrops fall.The Bookseller
