2.5 * . I found parts disturbing, and others disgusting. Some people I follow gave it a 5, so I figured I would end up liking it. Meh.

I was really surprised by this book. I expected a surface level easy horror book but it was such an impressive read. so violent, graphic, and gross my jaw dropped a lot but it was so well written. loved the commentary on how we believe adults or those in charge know what’s best and in reality no one knows what they are doing. The boys having to act as adults and consider they are actually alone was interesting. Also an interesting read/ take considering the recent pandemic and what actually occurred. I do think the ending could have answered some more questions with the government aspect of this book though, some stuff was a bit too open ended
I hated the descriptions of animal cruelty and animal death. After the first instance, I was willing to keep trying. I wasn’t after the next.

Only a psychopath could give this book 5 stars and sleep with themselves at night. It was SO. GOOD. will be hard to recommend to people without the warning that it is *fucked up*/eerie/gross/a book you can only read when the sun is shining.
