I do enjoy a good survival story every now and then. The fact that this book is compared to "The Descent" persuaded me to buy it regardless of the "low" rating.
The story is about four women in their 40s who decide to go on an adventurous rafting trip to a river that's never been explored by others (apart from their 20 year old guide) before.
Some of the girls are adventurous and eager to go on this trips, others aren't.
The setting in the Maine wilderness is perfect; the character building is good. What I didn't enjoy were the descriptions of the action scenes. I couldn't always follow them, which took away from the shock and scariness.
All-in-all I found this an enjoyable read. It wasn't the horror kind of book I was expecting, so I'm still on the look out for a really good survivor horror story.
