This was a pretty interesting concept for a book, but it just didn't work for me. I felt the book was very slow paced and it seemed like nothing was really happening for majority of the book. For the most part, the twists were pretty predictable and a lot of the plot was either too far fetched or flat. This book didn't feel like a thriller to me. Really this book was just about an island of misogynistic men. It seemed to end very abruptly, though there was an epilogue.
