After a long drought of reading, this was my first dive back in. I was able to read this in about a week and half. This book is definitely not for the faint of heart. Ot explored themes of survival, sickness, derangement and death. That being said author Nick Cutter did a good job without depressing the reader to the point where you would want to put the book down. The story maintains a glimmer of hope that leads to a minute amount of satisfaction. This was a gruesome story but I enjoyed it.
