Negative Positive
Title: not gripping
Review: The main problems I have with this book are the lack of suspense and the poor documentary-like writing style.The book isn't suspenseful becuase you know from the beginning that there will be survivors, the digestive and cannabalistic hardships are predictable, and you cannot attach yourself to the characters and worry about whether they will be survivors. The only genuinely suspenseful part of the book lasts about 7 pages. The characters are consistently one-note in nature, and the interaction between them becomes predictable quickly. A probable reason for this is that the author didn't have enough room to develop the main characters since there are so many of them.I am aware that the book is nonfiction, and my secondary complaint is most likely a symptom of that, although I've read well-written nonfiction before.I'm quite tired right now, and I've probably made several spelling and grammar errors which I'm not the mood to check for.
Is the review positive or negative?
