A brutal tale of survival

The author certainly has an interesting way of conveying this harsh tale of survival and unconditional love. What's funny is that I've always thought my vocabulary and knowledge of words was at least a little above average until I completed this depressing journey of a harrowing yarn. If you are down and out reading this story it will probably make you either more depressed or feel blessed that you are not truly living this fictional horror. Because if these events ever came to fruition and you were not lucky enough to have a quick and painless death life would really really suck! I personally have more faith in mankind...but then again I guess one never truly knows the monster that man can become in a fight for self preservation. I saw the movie first and thought I would give the book a chance to delve deeper but it was nearly identical. So 3 out of 5. Depressing yet entertaining enough to keep me interested although it was becoming clearer and clearer the more that I read I was following the same path as the film.
