Very very very very violent, a lot of death and a lot of times it is more graphic than not, but it's still an amazing book. I would reccommend this to anyone who likes to cry over books, characters who have some psychological issues, really anything violent.

A wonderful start to a wonderful series. Lord of the flies meets X-Men in the most gruesome wsy you can imagine. Grant is a master at portraying brutally realistic situations that come along with his premise. 

I do find it at times hard to believe how bloodthirsty some of the kids are, and the coyote/darkness scenes can get pretty repetitive, but otherwise a wonderful novel.

The R slur is constantly used against an autistic child. The narrative treats it as a bad and disgusting, unacceptable thing, but it is still used a lot.
