I liked Bodeen's The Compound and that is why I picked The Raft. I didn't enjoy this one as much though. Something was not quite there for me. However, I did like that Robie wasn't a know-it-all girl. She even didn't know how to swim properly!I also like how she survived and the choices she made wer...

While not without it's flaws - a selfish, monotone protagonist and a not-so-surprising twist ...
An amazing book from start to finish, I loved it. So many emotions of fear, uncertainty, guilt, etc flowing through the reader.
