The Survivors by Matthew Vaughn

Great, bloody fun

I find anything to do with plane crashes totally chilling, I always have, and this started with no exception to that rule, making me nervous before I'd even really started! A plane crashes into the sea, and the passengers end up stranded on an island and quickly having to learn to survive! Luckily for them though, they have Rick, who seems to know a hell of a lot about survival and seems conveniently prepared! A tale of torture, rape, cannibalism, necrophilia and of course, survival, with a barbaric and speedy descent into savagery and insanity, and just how quickly people can adapt in a life or death situation! Matt gives his characters real personality, which made me feel for some of them and completely hate others!! I really felt for the main character, Mark, the way he could see everything that is going on around him but is powerless to do anything about it….although he does try! With some interesting outcomes! This was a really fun, bloody and addictive read!
