I won't say that this story was badly written or was unable to keep my interest, because neither of those are true. However, I didn't find it as interesting or great as I thought I would. So much of it felt rushed, and at parts even lacking, that I found myself reading it though not caught up in it. I didn't feel for this character, what he went through, or even his survival in the end which is not how one should feel for a character that has gone through such a trauma. I did find myself interested in one of the other survivors, but we get absolutely nothing on her, and the other thing is we get nothing on him following any of what happened. I don't know what it was about this story, and I can't say it was bad as I did enjoy it to some degree, but there was something that it lacked. I just can't put my finger on it is all.
