The prose is very readable, and the premise is interesting. But considering my copy had a Stephen King quote saying it scared the hell out of him, I'm confused. It was grim, sure, utterly disgusting - the worst body horror I'd read and I've had a mosey about. It made me feel sick, but not scared, there wasn't an awful lot of suspense as the basic plot gets spoiled relatively early on and anyone with decent grasp of story and character can guess where the plot and scouts will end up. Not bad, but I'm not as impressed as I hoped to be, seeing as I'd seen so many people recommend it.

The animal violence is also just for violence sake. Most was not needed. In fact half this book was just not needed. Cut the page count turn it into a novella for those who enjoy torture films and be done. Because this was awful, not because it was violent, but because it took great works with lessons and just ruined them

I do think the message came across, of adults being clueless and putting themselves above kids and the complicated nature of boyhood friendships. I just don’t know that I’d recommend this to a friend or read anything else like this again.
