Critic reviews
‘A blisteringly good standalone thriller.’
The Observer, YA Books of the Year, 4/12/2022
‘A thrill ride.’
The Guardian
“Holly Jackson, the OG of UK YA thriller writers, has written one of her most exciting novels yet. Five Survive, my Book of the Month, is about a group of teens who set off on a trip for spring break; when they find themselves under attack, they must work out who is trying to shoot them—and why. Set over the course of just a few hours, this taut thriller will keep readers hooked.”
Charlotte Eyre, The Bookseller
The book itself is really good, excellent premise and plot. However, the performance of the narrator ruined it for me. There was very little nuance and felt very shouty at times. She also kept emphasising the wrong words in sentences making it sound stilted and it felt like they should have stopped and started again to say the sentence like any normal person would. I know I sound like a terrible bore but it kept happening and got worse, this means you almost stop listening to the book and just waiting for the next trip up. I fully understand and support an American narrator as it was set in the US but perhaps this was an issue? Maybe it was because an American narrator was reading a book by a British author,
I just feel it was a real shame because it ruined the book for me. I'll have to buy a physical copy and read it. I both read and listened to A Good Girls... and found the narrator excellent.
Fabulous book, dreadful performance
