Reviews

Goodreads review by Ella

I was really looking forward to this book and it disappointed me. For me the problem was the characters and just how it was written. The characters drove me crazy and how they acted under their circumstances was just annoying and nonsensical. I highly enjoy survival books but this was just not right......more
