Reviews

[Nathaniel P. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was about a group of hikers who would end up getting lost in the woods, because their guide would end up dying along the way and desperately try to find a way out. In my opinion it felt as if in the beginning the plot moved along kind of slow, and we did not get to know the main characters in depth. It made it feel kind of confusing later on in the book when different events occurred to different characters. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure, because many events occurred throughout the course of the book.
