This was a reread for me and it did not change my viewpoint of this novel. It is a tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion. The fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are intertwined. I read this for a Litsy Mail Postal Book Club. Here is my review from my first read:
I wanted to read this book because I saw so many people had liked it but I will have to say that I didn't really like it at all. I have read some scary books and this one was not that scary to me. There are crazy people holding the occupants of the cabin as hostages but I thought it lacked real tension. I listened to the audio and it was during the day and maybe if I was home alone and it was at night then I'm sure I would have been a bit more nervous. So, if you read this one and you were scared then I would say, "Good for you!" If you haven't read it then maybe you should try it and see if it is scary enough for you. I just thought the whole story was rather strange. But I guess that's why they have so many flavors of ice cream!
