Really enjoyed the narrating voice which must have been a feat to write because Jack is both evidently a child but also very mature for his age in a way that's believable given the context he had to grow up in. This could have very easily been a chronicle of an escape only, but the author weaved in some critiques to media and society that felt super poignant. Ending was good, I just felt that the pacing rushed a bit after chapter 4.
