Convince us to read the book: This book really set that survival tone for me. It's one of those "lord of the flies" type of books that doesn't really copy any story lines, but excels in creating its own.
Memorable or Forgettable: This book was a breath of fresh air with all of these books like The Hunger Games and The Testing being generically written.
Cover: This book's cover is OK. With talking about beating some clock and scribbles that look like counting days, it sets a survival tone.
