À propos de cet audio

The authors of the “impossible to put down” (The Guardian) thriller Old Country return with a terrifying novel about a wilderness camp for troubled teens that is plagued by mysterious events and disappearances, taking survival and discipline to a frightening extreme.

Thirteen-year-old Ben is sent to a remote reform program for troubled teens by a juvenile court judge. But when he arrives at the camp, located on the edge of the vast wilderness of northwestern Montana, he immediately recognizes that there is something off about the counselors. They’re too friendly and upbeat…yet Ben can tell there’s an undercurrent of menace.

As he gets to know the boys in his cabin, he soon discovers that they each have far more going for them than whatever crime landed them there. And each has a different critical skill, one that could help them unearth what is really going on in this place—and how to make it out alive. They are inching ever closer to the truth, and the hidden evil beneath the camp’s surface will make itself known in order to deter them.

Slow to start, but worth the wait!

Unexpected and frightening. If I wasn’t already terrified of the woods, I would be now. You’ll love it.

Ugh, So Disappointing

I was a big fan of Old Country, the authors' previous novel, and I was excited to check this one out, but oof, what a let down. Granted, it might get better, but I'll never know (or care) what happens beyond Chapter 6. I just couldn't get into it.

The first problem that struck me about this audiobook was the choice of narrator (who does an adequate job, for what it's worth). Why choose a middle-aged white man from, I dunno, Iowa, when the protagonist is a 13-year-old black kid from Louisiana?

This seemed like a genuinely perplexing choice, until I realized that the problem runs much deeper than the narrator. The authors don't even attempt to infuse the narrative with the voice of a 13-year-old black kid from Louisiana. Writers are often advised to "write what you know," and this is an instance where that advice would have been well taken. Why choose this boy as the protagonist when you clearly have no idea how to write this character (to say nothing of the authors' reliance on the child-genius trope as a sure indication that they don't know how to write a 13-year-old character)?

TL;DR: This book comes across as ill-conceived YA schlock, and if you liked Old Country, brace yourself for a real disappointment.
