Good story of survival against all odds

Pure and simple, this is a book about what people will do just to survive. Part of the story is about a couple living their 2nd winter in the Alaska wilderness. They struggled their first winter and almost didn't live through it. They learned a lot and thought they were prepared for their second winter. That probably would have been the case if a female stranger and later a male stranger hadn't landed at their doorstep. When you have enough to get 2 people and a dog through winter, it's tough to get 4 and a dog through with those same provisions. This is really true when the male stranger starts eating all their food. The story talks about life in a wilderness setting and how difficult survival can be, especially if you are far from anyone else. All it takes it one mistake or a couple of strangers showing up and surviving that human contact becomes an even bigger act of survival. Good story and lots of action.

Dumb husband

This book wouldn’t have a story if the husband would just listen to his wife!

A bumpy ride!!!

This was a great survival story. I loved the fact that Lisa and Jonesy were a force to be reckoned with together or separately. The character development was absolutely great.

Nah... Couldn't be me!

Great story... Kill that dude already!!! Really good story. I was a little put off by the narrator at first but he grew on me. I was ready to jump in the story and help my new friends out.

Trigger warning; cohersive control

The book, narroration, and setting are done incredibly well. the story was addicting too, but at a certain point I needed to stop. The author and narrorator are a little too good at showing an abusive relationship :[ I just wish I could get past it to see the resolution/payoff but the tension is too strong. it's got a dog 11/10

Listened at 1.8× speed.

I had to listen at 1.8× speed or I could not have finished it. There was a lot of boring and then finally a bit of action at the end.

Just ok

I found the narrator a bit annoying. To be honest, if I had to use a credit I would have listened to a sample and passed on the book. The storyline was good enough I didn't DNF the book, but just barely.

Gripping

I was a scary story. Sometimes hard to listen too. Great story & plot. i would recommend to fiends & family.

Edge of your seat excitement!

This story goes to show what some people will do to survive! Read it and see if you have what it takes!

Tiresome and predictable

It started off gritty, gruesome and dark and with promise of potential. But thenit slowed down., introduced milquetoast characters and became predictable. By the middle of the book I had already guessed the final scene. And it took forever to get there.. if you enjoy watching a horror movie and saying repeatedly to the characters get out of the haunted house before you die and they blithely go on in denial, you’ll like this book. For me it was boring, frustrating and predictable and I would’ve been better to just turn it off halfway through or better yet Not started at all.
