This was so much fun! Readers who aren't predisposed to love action packed survival stories might find it a bit far fetched, but I had a blast.

I deducted .25 for the judgment about pediatric psych meds. I don't like it when books imply they are used to control children. Maybe in some cases, but while I agree that they are something that should be used with caution, I hate the idea that parents might be scared to try meds their kids might genuinely need bc of this pervasive idea that they are just bad across the board.
