Halfway through this book I said to myself either something really interesting was going to happen or this would be a dud. Turns out it was more of a dud. The characters were all unlikable, some even entirely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, and I didn’t really care to know their fate. The concept of this story really grabbed me when I picked it up in the bookstore, but the execution fell very flat. There is no explanation as to how the survivors ended up being abandoned and the last chapter just ties everything together very nonchalantly after this group of people has experienced traumatic situations trying to survive the wilderness. Maybe it would have leant something more to this story to follow up on what happened following the survival experience. One star for the idea behind the story, though execution was lacking.

This book was all of the things I love, reality tv, suspense, and a journey. I love Blair from her appearances on You're Wrong About and those episodes primed me to absorb and adore this book. Amazing! I recommend it highly.
