This book helped me get in touch with that primal, survivor side of humanity which cushy civilization has allowed us to abandon. I was pleased with the level of brutality in this dystopian teen fiction. Think the television show Survivor, but the back-stabbing is literal.

An engaging and told story. I highly recommend it.
I had avoided reading this book for some time as descriptions and reviews that I had read really hadn't peaked my interest. However, curiosity finally got the better of me and I did enjoy it!
