Masterfully written. It’s not hard to see why it’s a classic.

This was super stressful. My stress levels were through the roof the last 30 pages. It's very dark and brutal (check the content warnings before reading this)  . I thought this was very smart, highlighting humanity's worst sides and putting a twist on other island stories. Although I enjoyed it there were many of its time elements which is the reason why I didn't give it a higher rating.
