I liked The Chain but I LOVED The Island!! I can now see why this book is being a TV series. This book is frightening and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole entire time.

This book is almost 400 pages but it is so fast paced that it goes by so fast. Highly highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a good thriller.

This book showed me so many literary “icks” I didn’t realize I even had. A basic story line and cheesy delivery, all-in-all. I wish I could say this book left me wanting more from it, but frankly I’m just relieved to ve through it.
