This book was so hyped up, I was prepared to love it! A supernatural/menacing force collides with a boy scout troop on a remote island? Oooh!

However, what this actually ended up being was a gross lord of the flies retelling with more animal abuse and more sociopathic boys. Not sure what the takeaway was supposed to be with this story....

it truly was just a bunch of fucked up kids torturing each other while they become infected with the insatiable hunger the government accidentally set loose.

there were some redeeming qualities with the open ended final portion of the book. I liked how maybe the last boy is returning to the island because he DOES have the hunger, but more likely he is just hungering for the last time he ever knew normalcy.

I just wished for more story, more character motivation, less gore and pointless gross.

An amazing horror book. I can’t wait to read more from Nick Cutter. READ ALL TRIGGER WARNINGS AND DO NOT TAKE THEM LIGHTLY.

Cutter's descriptions are both vile and illuminating. Body horror with a spotlight on it to highlight every squirming maggot and fleshy lesion. The man does it so right.
