Customer Reviews

Very wonderful, page turner! Couldn't put it down!

I started reading and couldn't put it down, I finished it in 1 day!! Very good book!! Must Read!

Ive never read less than 20 pages when I picked up this book

This book really relates to real-life situations and how different people react to different problems. I though the author did an excellent job of vividly describing the characters and their personalitys. This was a great book!

Held the interest of my students!

I highly recommend this book. I have used it this year with my fifth form (year 11) English class. My class is the 2 Year School Certficate class - I suppose their English ability would have to be defined as below average. They enjoyed the novel, and more importantly it held their attention - the death, near death and Carl's annoyingness! It was also easy for them to identify, talk and write about aspects like characters, themes, climax. Audio tapes of the novel are available from Replay Radio in NZ.

I like this book a lot, it was very suspenseful

This book is about six kids who go on a hike and wake up one morning, and their guide is dead! They try to survive for a week until search and rescue come to look for them. Can they do It? I liked this book because it was suspensful, and it had action in it. I enjoyed reading this story. It was a great book, and I recommend it to everyone!
