The premise is simple--a bunch of young employees gets stranded in the theme park after a hurricane. In complete isolation from the world, while waiting on a rescue, they very quickly form different tribes (after different themes of the park, like Pirates) and start warring with each other. The book is written in the form of interviews with the survivors where the author tries to find an answer to the senseless (and, you could say, fantastical) violence.

I think you can do interesting things with this type of storytelling--play with the way you'll reveal information, especially in the terms of biases, unreliable narrators, connecting pieces of the story like a puzzle, and such. (A really good example would be the Wylding Hall novella, if you ask me.) And for the most part, it was well utilized here too--illustrating what happened from so many different perspectives. But, for me, characters play a big role in my enjoyment of a book, and this is where this interview-style narration failed for me. Because each chapter was a new character, who would tell their story and then move on to someone else (with an occasional mention of prior person here and there), it was a bit difficult for me to find it in me to care about them. I would forget their names instantly and for the most part, they all feel unimportant. With the exception of one character who gets mention in all interviews (the main antagonist).

There's also a problem of repetition--some info and comments were told almost verbatim by different characters and it felt like rehashing what we already learned.

And while I think that book maybe doesn't understand what it's trying to criticize, it manages to be fun, very gory, suspenful, and there was a whole chapter that genuinely disturbed me. Just don't try to think too hard about the plot and enjoy the bloody ride.
