A review by bookedbymadeline
The Island by Adrian McKinty

Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.
I thought we agreed enough with the fucking HP references in recently published books?!

The dialogue is so cringey and unnatural, honestly I think McKinty has never interacted with a Gen Z person.

Weird description of a 14 YEAR OLD GIRL “she’s really starting to grow out…could be mistaken for 16 even” WTF

These kids are absolute brats, Tom is an entitled white man, and Heather is meh-Characters are just one dimensional 

Who the fuck goes to a private island where they even state “no laws there” LIKE I WOULD BE ON DRUGS TO AGREE TO THAT AFTER HEARING HOW THE MEN TALKED ABOUT IT 

We killed someone, let’s leave the island…def Americans with how entitled they act when visiting other places (I say this as an American)
