The viewpoint of the book is Alon who is so used to the island and is not phased by anything that happens throughout the book. The Hollywood execs are idiots and do everything you would expect while Alon just tries to keep them alive the best he can.

This book also makes a budding queer relationship between a the son of one of the producers of the show and Alon (they/them) the local boy, with a strange connection to the island, who tries repeated to warn the Hollywood people to get off the island.
The horror element of the story was amazing written, vividly detailed and sufficiently creepy without being too much for the people who have a lower tolerance.
Also the twist! It was hinted at without being too obvious. I loved it.
