That moment when you are reading a novel but it's so well written and descriptive you think it's a memoir. That's what this book was like.

This book shook my soul! I finished it in less than 24 hours. I couldn’t put it down. From the opening line to the closing paragraph, I was hooked. I loved every thing about this story. Every. Single. Thing.

Addicting, yes. But not totally believable, I questioned a few parts of the story. I like how the book is written to his son, it's a good angle.

I struggled during the early portions of this book. I found the actions of the characters, all deeply flawed, grated and the predicaments the group find themselves in on the mountain a little contrived. As I read, on, though, the characters grew on me and I was intrigued by Wolf's tragic youth. This was a survival story, a struggle against nature, but was also a psychological struggle as each character battled their own human weaknesses.

I enjoyed this book. I listened to the audiobook on Scribd when I was sick. It was a page-turner. Would make an interesting movie.

Somewhat slow at times but still kept my interest. A strong ending and closure with each character. I was actually quite shocked with Bridget's fate. She aggravated me with her behaviors but to be honest reminded me of myself. I often had to remind myself that Wolf was only 18. He was a true survivor of life. I would recommend this book.

3.5 - Garret and I listened to this on audiobook over the course of 2 months. I feel like it would have been a more cohesive story if we had listened to it over a shorter period of time. Overall I enjoyed this story and was ready to give it a 4 star rating... until the conclusion which seemed like an unnecessary twist just for shock value. Biggest take away is always be prepared and tell someone where you are going !
