Survive by Alex Morel
Published August 2nd 2012 by Razorbill
Hatchet meets Lost in this modern-day adventure tale of one girl's reawakeningJane is on a plane on her way home to Montclair, New Jersey, from a mental hospital. She is about to kill herself. Just before she can swallow a lethal dose of pills, the plane hits turbulence and everything goes black. Jane wakes up amidst piles of wreckage and charred bodies on a snowy mountaintop. There is only one other survivor: a boy named Paul, who inspires Jane to want to fight for her life for the first time.
Jane and Paul scale icy slopes and huddle together for warmth at night, forging an intense emotional bond. But the wilderness is a vast and lethal force, and only one of them will survive.
I remember when Lost came out and it was all the rage. I was also about in grade five and was never allowed to watch it, but this sounds so good! Shoot me, but I didn't enjoy reading Lord of the Flies and even though it's the same kind-of concept this sounds so good! See my enthusiasm?
Link me to your WOW and I'll check them out.
Also, the birthday giveaway is coming up real soon so they close!
I'm really looking forward to this! I love survival stories. I'm also a Lost and Hatchet fan. I lov the idea of her wanting to commit suicide on the plane and then the plane crashes! Can't wait to see Jane and Paul survive. Thanks for visiting My WOW!
ReplyDeleteNo problem! I think survival tends to bring out the worst in people (even the tv show!) so I'm really excited to see what the author does with this.
DeleteAh~ That sounds really interesting. I'm putting it on my TBR list ASAP. I love survivor tales such as this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :D

I'm dying to read this! I was supposed to read Lord of the Flies for my English oral exam at school but I didn't have the time to finish it. I liked what I read though. But I think I love books where people are stranded on an island, having to try to survive. Especially if it's a couple or if there's a possibility of the survivors becoming a couple. It makes for an awesome romantic situation, not to mention a little scary and really interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! :)
I laughed out loud at your 'romantic situation' comment with me thinking of Lord of the Flies. That situation was definitely not the case! Haha.
DeleteNice pick this week, looks like an awesome read!

DeleteHi Ellen!!!!!
Long time no see!
Bahaha! I agree McKenzie ;) Hehe.
DeleteOhh, I like the cover for this one! Thanks for sharing, I hadn't seen it before!
ReplyDeleteI know right? I love the way the ice and mountain blends into the writing and the model just looks awesome! No problem. Thanks for sharing :)
DeleteI haven't seen this one before, but it sounds AMAZING. I just love, love, love the concept. You're right - it is very reminiscent of Lost, but it also reminds me of an old movie I used to love as a kid called Wild America. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Wild America before but I admit it does sound pretty wild ;) Heheh. I hope it's as good as it sounds!
