review 1: From the description of the book I thought this would be like the show survivor. I was so wrong because it's so much more. The book sets up each character with a great story, people who have survived something horrible. Each person has an equally terrible story of survival. They all are invited to what they think is a classic reality show. As the adventure unfolds they soon realize things are not what they seem. New Year Island is a great read, fast paced, suspenseful and thrilling. The 720 pages fly by and have you gripped in the action. This was the first book I've read by Paul Draker and it won't be the last. The suspense and mystery was fantastic and had me guessing until the end.
review 2: Wow, this was a long book......a very long book at 720 pag
... morees (according to goodreads).This book has short chapters which I think is why I kept putting it down all the time, or maybe I'm just not cut out for "lunkers" of this magnitude. I really liked this story, I just didn't like how long it took me to finish it. While, it did lag sometimes, it was only for short periods. Upon reflection, those periods when it lags are when you should really be paying attention. There is scads of action in this book. The last quarter of the story is a nail-biter, and I did not see the end coming. There is a ton of characters to keep track of, but they make it all the more entertaining. I really could see this being made into a movie, albeit a long one. less

Started out good, but was just too long and some of the things that happened were kind of dumb.

Intriguing concept but in the end got too silly and too gruesome for my taste
