BevS's Reviews > The Island

This is another book I chose on the strength of past reviews, and boy, am I glad I did!! Total keeper, and 5 stars from me

I would warn you straight away that this is not a story for those who have a problem with abuse. I won't go into glorious detail about the story, just to say that it involves covert ops; the imprisonment, horrific torture and repeated rape of one man (and normally that would put me off), lots of death (all fully deserved of course!), and the subsequent rescue of that one man Lee Anderson, an American DEA agent, by Australian Adam Shaw and co-helper Usayd, who were definitely not what they seemed.....

How Lee deals with his release, flash-backs and subsequent slow, tentative recovery, and how Shaw deals with the inquiry that follows on from the fall-out on the island of the title and his future, is for you, dear reader, to discover. Thoroughly recommended, and once I'd started it, I couldn't put it down.
