A wonderful start to a wonderful series. Lord of the flies meets X-Men in the most gruesome wsy you can imagine. Grant is a master at portraying brutally realistic situations that come along with his premise.
I do find it at times hard to believe how bloodthirsty some of the kids are, and the coyote/darkness scenes can get pretty repetitive, but otherwise a wonderful novel.
