Interesting read. The premise was intriguing and the writing was brilliant at times, though some of the imagery was lost on me. I didn't find it bad and I didn't find it good - it was just 'eh', alright. The ending was fantastic though, I would've loved for this idea - of Prendrick's life after the island and the psychological effects of being there - to be explored more, I did think the last two pages were the most interesting of the whole book.
