📖 Five Survive

Five Survive is an intense thriller about 18-year-old Red and her friends who are on a road trip for spring break. They're excited for the beach, but their plans take a dark turn when their RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere. With no cell service and no help in sight, things get even worse when someone starts shooting out their tires, making it clear that they're being targeted by someone. The group soon learns that one of them is hiding a secret, and the sniper is willing to kill to get it. As they try to figure out who the sniper is after and why, tensions rise, and their trust in each other crumbles. One thing is for sure, though: they won't all make it out alive to see the sun rise the next day. In my opinion, this book started out dull and moved quite slowly in many chapters. Holly Jackson's young adult novels typically move at a much faster and "exciting" pace, so perhaps that is one reason I thought Five Survive progressed a tad more leisurely than some other novels. However, this book does get more interesting and the plot becomes very fascinating sometime in the middle. It then becomes a gripping and edge-of-your-seat read that keeps you guessing until the end. Who's the sniper? Why are they after Red and her friends? If you enjoy thrillers with unexpected loops and twists, complex characters, and drama, this book is for you!

《Five Survive》是一部紧张刺激的惊悚片,讲述了 18 岁的瑞德和她的朋友们在春假期间进行公路旅行的故事。她们对海滩充满期待,但当她们的房车在荒郊野外抛锚时,她们的计划出现了转折。由于没有手机信号,也看不到任何救援,情况变得更加糟糕,有人开始向他们的轮胎开枪,很明显他们被人盯上了。他们很快发现其中一人隐藏着一个秘密,而狙击手为了得到这个秘密不惜杀人灭口。当他们试图找出狙击手的目标和原因时,紧张局势加剧,他们对彼此的信任也随之崩溃。但有一点可以肯定:他们不可能都活着看到第二天的太阳升起。 在我看来,这本书的开头比较沉闷,很多章节都进展得相当缓慢。霍利-杰克逊的青少年小说通常会以更快更 "刺激 "的速度进行,所以这也许是我认为《五人幸存》比其他一些小说进展更缓慢的原因之一。不过,这本书在中段的某个时候确实变得更加有趣,情节也变得非常引人入胜。然后,它就成了一本扣人心弦、让人如坐针毡的读物,让你一直猜到最后。狙击手是谁?他们为什么要追杀瑞德和她的朋友们?如果你喜欢带有意想不到的循环和转折、复杂的人物和戏剧性的惊悚小说,这本书就是为你准备的!
