This book is an absolute fucking nightmare, I mean this in the best way possible. 
Not for even the remotely faint of heart, I usually have a strong stomach for media like this but event I had to avoid the book for a couple of days when my real life got stressful.

A great story... felt to me like a cross between Stand By Me, Lord of the Flies, Hatchet, and the Covid pandemic, all rolled into one. I thought for sure this was written post 2019, so I was very surprised to find out it'd been published in 2014.
Very descriptive and very gross. Audio was excellent!  Characters were well-developed but weren't convincing as 14- & 15-year-olds, they came across as older to me. 
 Warning:  Do NOT try to eat while reading this book!

Gave me the creepy crawly, icky feeling, but very well written. Great imagery and descriptions.

I have never ever read anything like this before, and I'm not sure I will again. It was so horrifying, but probably the most engrossing book I've ever read.

This book loses like a quarter of a star because of the last chapter. It's probably 10 lines and right now I'm a little mad at it.
My roommate loves this book. He's very unsettled by it and I agree, v spoopy, v uncomfy, v no thank you. But...I just really need to read a horror book that commits to an ending. The last 3 have been all hand-wavy and I just want something else.
