This book features a strong premise of three vastly different groups of people (one college students, one criminals, one scientists) finding themselves on an island with a parasitic worm that grows rapidly to disturbing proportions and use their human hosts in a variety of disgusting ways. The dialogue and character development, however, is difficult to struggle through and really detracts from the horror plot. The ending is definitely surprising, but I'm not sure if it was in a good way or a cop-out way. In any case, the plot was unique, and if you're not too much of a stickler for good dialogue and character development, you'll probably enjoy it. Be warned though that the blurb sells it as a sexually-tense horror, when it's definitely much more of a gross-out piece.
