Hell Island had been on my to-read list for like, five years before I started it.
One day, my next door neighbor (the nice one) came over and gave me a free copy (because he was friends with the publisher, had hundreds of copies for some reason, and knew I liked reading. Somehow. A little creepy.)
Anyway, I was excited to finally start reading it. I got one page in before my dad came home with a copy of Mockingjay, which I was much more desperate to read (however, be warned: it sucks).

Great full-throttle action as always....me thinks Mr Reilly has a secret formula for his books - 11 secret action herbs and spices!

Makes me feel like whipping on my camo capris and takling the jungle out back (i.e. going to weed the garden - lol).

Very short, but not exactly sweet - classic Reilly with heaps of adventure and split-second escapes for some characters, lots of blood and grisly deaths for others. No such events that rock the Schofield world as happened in the previous book...

A quick read of only 108 pages, which is good as I don't think I could have read it for much longer. A new genre titles, 'Military/Fantasy' needs to be created for this book. ...more

A short and very action packed story, including the lead character Scarecrow and others in the Marine unit including Mother, getting out of many situations that seem impossible but for the strategic minded Shane Schofield. Lots of action and apes! Make this a short and entertaining read.
