That was good stuff, like his writing style. Not my typical genre, but glad I kept going anyway as that was a wild ride.

The first half of the book had so much tension, it was seriously scary. Another great book from Chuck Wendig. I devoured this, just like Wanderers.

Didn't grab me

I'm honestly not sure what to say about this, except that I ended up skimming through to the end.
It didn't grab me, or intrigue me, or scare me.
The author writes well, as far as compiling sentences into a story. But I didn't find the story interesting enough to hold my attention.
Maybe that's just me.
