This book was suggested to me so I didn't really read the blurb or tags very well. The first half is slow and seems like a pretty innocent YA novel. But when the ball gets running and things are happening, things are really happening. 

It's grotesque, brutal and pretty unrealistic. But it's an easy and mainly enjoyable read. I wasn't really into hiking before reading this book, and I'm definitely not more into hiking after reading this book.
