2.0

Literally just a body horror movie in book form. I have a strong stomach but even considered not finishing. I usually love thrillers and horror but this was just so predictable and relied on nauseating descriptions.

I don't have the stomach for how much animal torture/killing there is in this- it's really intense.  It's also really tough watching the kids in danger.

This was a really great read. It has the perfect pace and the right amount of tense atmosphere to keep you feeling on edge throughout. The characters were well fleshed out, and the plot was goofy to me at first but whew, that changed quick.
