I like the world that the author has created and the overall events that take place. I struggle to enjoy the main character, Chris, as he acts too childish to me in most situations in this book. I would never have guessed he and his friends had received any formal training based on how they interact with each other in stressful situations and with how little discipline they show, especially Chris. I wanted to enjoy the book more, but some aspects of the writing kept drawing me out of the story to focus instead on the choice of words or how often extra words were thrown into sentences.
