The Troop by Nick Cutter

dark mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This book was effed up.  I finally found a book that people said, "It's disturbing," and it actually was.

A scount master takes five scounts to a local island for the annual weekend camping trip.  The scout master is just done, and the kids are just the worst.

Without spoiling, the scout master made bad decision after bad decision, one scount qas very into testing his limits with adults, anf another had anger issues... This is just thenperfect storm for bad things.  I've never had a desire to read Lord of the Flies, and this just solidified that lack of want.

Very good (bad) book; check your trigger warnings. There were things I was prepared for that I was still not prepared for.
