A decidedly short (by Kings standards) novel about determination, primal fears, and the need for even a touch of humanity.

I liked this, quite a lot. I think it touches a lot of the fears that many people will have. Being lost and alone, and having to rely on just your wits. 

And, I like Trisha. She's really easy to root for. Although, I do think that she's surprisingly sardonic for a 9 year old, even a tall one.
