Nick Cutter wrote these string of events in such a way that you yourself would feel helpless, that even what seemed to be the right course of action for these characters held a detriment to their survival overall. It was so easy to invest in the story, especially with the help of the setting and characters. Throughout its chapters, The Troop gave the reader the right amount of questions to build tension and curiosity, and answered them at just the right moments to move the plot forward. I personally loved the story and thought it was very well-developed. That said, this book is not for the faint of heart-if you don't like body horror described in detail or extreme animal cruelty and violence, you might have to skip this one, because The Troop wasn’t the slightest bit afraid to go to such extremes. I feel like this book has built up quite a cult following over the years given the premise and how gruesomely it tackled the idea of campers stuck in an island with a deadly, easily transmittable pathological threat, and I’m so glad I finally got around to reading it. They then find themselves exposed to a biological threat more horrific than they can ever begin to imagine in this story of horror and survival. A troop of boys go into the Canadian wilderness for a three-day camping trip headed by Scoutmaster Riggs.
