nclcaitlin's review against another edition

Lord of the Flies meets Robinson Crusoe but it is non-fiction.
No exit. Limited supplies. Deteriorating mental and physical health. Ammunition.
This kind of reminded me of Shogun… is that weird?
Unfortunately, I think the blurb was more interesting than the book itself. I kept waiting for something really shocking to happen, to make me riveted, yet I could not keep attention to the audiobook. It was just full of facts and job roles and lists.
I know this a non-fiction so it isn’t made to have an engaging narrative with a driving plot, but I have enjoyed non-fiction with less interesting premises before. It was just very dry.
