Five Survive

First and foremost, I did like the storyline and the ending of this book. It was interesting and woven well. There was only one “convenient coincidence” that I found to be a bit of a stretch, but it was minor. Everything else came together and was explained by the end.

I dropped it to 4 stars because there were particular parts that seemed to drag on and almost felt added to lengthen the book. By the end, I saw how they were important and everything was relevant, but while reading those parts just felt unnecessary and made me a bit impatient. Again though, it all makes sense in retrospect and I now see how everything was important.
