His prose caused a certain level of unease and anxiousness as the mystery developed and more questions stirred along the way whether the author reveals yet another secret that the camp kept hidden, or with the flashback scenes provided to gain some sort of perspective on it all. With the setting of a seemingly innocent summer camp grounds, Riley Sager managed to cast a shadow upon it and give it an eery edge as he wrote this story. I am happy to say that no one ever went mysteriously missing or possibly brutally murdered in any of my trips, thank god…but that does bring me more into the book and what it’s about. I still remember dreading it on the long bus ride to Amery, WI, but was sad to go by the end of the week. This book was a great reminder of my younger summer years spent at a camp with everything included above it brought back the amazing weeks that I truly didn’t appreciate when I was younger.
Who else went to sleepaway camp when they were younger? Imagine it for yourself: the old, weathered, paint-chipped wooden buildings throughout the area, the tiny bunk bed cabins, the massive fire pit that overlooked the lake in the woods, the latrines for the communal showers that everyone fought over before the water went cold, the cobwebs in just about every corner of any given space, the massive mosquitos, the early morning roll calls that ended up in the cafeteria with the long tables with benches, and that hot, older camp counselor that all the girls (and me) had a crush on? His name was probably Trevor, Jake, Luke or Josh? God, I love nostalgia. Genre(s): Mystery/Thriller Total Star Rating: 3.75 Stars
