I really like the premise of this book and it being told in a true crime style is really compelling and unique. That said, I think I'd have enjoyed it more if I could have felt more of a connection to the characters like you would in a more traditional storytelling format. This book has a definite Lord of the Flies feel, but the disconnected format took a lot of the fear and horror out of it.
