The Troop by Nick Cutter is a fantastic read! It’s such a page-turner. The story follows a group of boys who go on a camping trip with their Scout leader, only to find themselves stranded on a remote island with a mysterious, flesh-eating virus.
One of the main things that makes the book so engaging is its fast pace. From the very beginning, the story is full of tension and suspense, and Cutter does an excellent job of building up the sense of unease as the boys find themselves stranded on the island with a mysterious virus.
Another reason The Troop is a great read is its well-developed characters. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the descriptions of the virus and its effects are both gruesome and captivating. Cutter does a great job of fleshing out (pun intended) the personalities of each of the boys, and as a result, they feel like real people with their own strengths, weaknesses, and quirks. The boys are forced to confront some difficult moral questions as they try to find a way off the island, and it was interesting to see how they each dealt with the challenges they faced. This makes it easy to become invested in their stories and root for them as they try to survive on the island.
Overall, I would definitely recommend The Troop to anyone who enjoys horror or survival stories. It’s a fast-paced and exciting read that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
