Teens will appreciate the horror and fast pace (adults might find the teen plot a bit irritating unless they like series like Gossip Girl and the A List and Pretty Little Liars). This might prompt teen readers to read the original? Kelly Budd, Keene High<\/p>\n<p>This fast paced novel is definitely not a &quot;clean&quot; book, but what can you expect when 10 high school students are on an island with no parents? It was written well for its type of book. As I read, I felt like I was watching a slasher\/horror movie that I had seen before. Originality? No. Heart pounding? Sure. Should it be on the Flume list? My vote is no. I feel that there are better suspense\/thriller novels out there than this. <em>-Aubrey, Goodwin Library<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While this book does keep the reader turning pages, it is meh. There were so many times that I just wanted to throw up my hands in disbelief. There have to be better choices than this one. Sharon Flesher &#8211; Nashua High South<\/p>\n<p>Predictable in the way that it&#8217;s clearly modeled after Agatha Christie&#8217;s And Then There Were None, and so I knew kids were going to be dropping like flies, and that there&#8217;d be a red herring death. It was still horrifying.<br \/>Good for teens who perhaps have not read Christie, or any fan of the horror\/slasher film genre. -Kirsten Rundquist Corbett, Sandown Public Library, 1\/19\/14      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FlumeAward &#8211; Ten Ten by Gretchen McNeil Agatha Christie fans will recognize this story.
