This book was a fast, fun read, but I had a bit of trouble getting as into the premise as I anticipated. The start of it all seemed a bit too quick for everyone to absolutely turn on each other as they did, but the commentary on human nature was interesting and the descriptions were great! There was one chapter that was beyond amazing compared to the others for me:

the one at the hotel

. Honestly, the edge of my seat vibe I had during that chapter alone is worth any misgivings about other parts of the book.
