Incredibly good. Very absorbing and believable. A small group of strangers agree to compete in a six-week survival game in some woods far from civilization. Things go wrong - lots of things go wrong. And there seems to be no way out. Well written and psychologically astute, plus realistic details about how to get by without supplies in the middle of nowhere. Strongly recommended!
if you love armchair adventure, this is a book for you. i'm not a reality show person. but i do love survivor stories. the second half of the book moved faster for me than the first. mara and ashley and kyle and bullfrog go through all the ups and downs imaginable, out in the woods, on ones own. sometimes scary, other times tender. wild and real, all rolled into one. blair's books are about the great outdoors, and our relationship with it. i find her work refreshing, direct and unique.
