Title: An Adolescent's Wet Dream
Product review: First off, this book is NOT scary. Nor is it suspenseful. What starts off as a promising premise,an anniversary outing goes wrong when the rented boat unexpectedly explodes, stranding them on this deserted island. No sooner does a day pass when the husband of one of the women is found dead, which leaves 4 women and 2 men. The following day, the second man is dispatched. What could have been a suspenseful story of survival against a psychotic individual turns into an adolescent's wet dream. Not a chapter goes by where the writer--the "author" of the account, as the story is told first person--doesn't talk about the women's breasts, their butts, their bikinis. Granted, there are moments of blood and guts, but those seem to be thrown in as an afterthought. I bought this book looking for a good scare, what I got was an embarassment to the horror genre. If you want a good scare--and a good read--pass this book by and, if necessary, reread some old Stephen King.
