A review by nightresplendent
The Island by M.A. Bennett
3.0
Despite not previously having read S.T.A.G.S by the same author, I had read many reviews praising her writing style and her storytelling ability. So, when I saw that she had another young adult novel being published I was very excited to get a copy.
I don't know if it was just me or if this book isn't as good as the last, but i found it to be incredibly mediocre.
The premise of the story was fantastic. I mean, who doesn't want to read an up-to-date retelling of 'Lord of the Flies' merged with 'The Breakfast Club'?
But unfortunately, for me, it just did not live up to the hype
Don't get me wrong, I didn't actively dislike it, nor will it cause me to rule out reading more from this author but I do think it was sadly over-hyped.
