review 1: I don't what it was about this book that made me give up. It seemed like my kind of book. Shark movies are awesome, and the concept really appealed to me. I'm not bothered if character development isn't strong either, so it wasn't that. Maybe it was the characters themselves. They're all drug addicts and they're all pieces of crap, so it's pretty hard to like or invest in any of them. I was on the shark's side, until i gave up. The writing was pretty solid, solid enough, but the constant descriptions of drug's and their effects on the characters didn't appeal to me. Might try to get into it again at some point. But its a dnf until then.
review 2: This was a strange read, for me. It was well written, with an interesting plot, fairly decent back stories for all ... morethe main characters and enough action/intrigue to hold my attention. My biggest problem with this novel was the lack of a proper protagonist. Not a single character within the story had any redeemable qualities. Not a single one of them. Definitely not any of the six main castaways. And, certainly not any of the people they know or have contact with in their backstories. Unfortunately, none of the ex-military men, who happen to plan and carry out all the island shenanigans. Not even the two coast guard personnel who show up, however briefly, near the end of the story. So, there isn't a hero to route for. I found myself uninterested in who would survive or die. But, I did find myself wanting to get to the end, just to see what was gonna happen. Again, this goes back to the overall intriguing plot and just how well worded the story is written. I would not, though, come back for a sequel. less
