Once a year, scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a three-day camping trip; a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story and a roaring bonfire. But when an unexpected intruder – shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry – stumbles upon their campsite, Tim and the boys are exposed to something far more frightening than any tale of terror. The human carrier of a bioengineered nightmare. An inexplicable horror that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival that will pit the troop against the elements, the infected … and one another.

The Troop By Nick Cutter Book Review & Reaction | Definitely Not For The Faint of Heart! (video)
Not the first conflicted review i read about this book. What didn’t work for you?
Between the adult not being an adult and just losing his shit and the boys going full Lord of the flies it was just a bit much happening all at once with an urgency I didn’t feel was warranted
Ah ok! So unrealistic characters, and everything goes way too bad, way roo quickly. I get it. 👌
