This was the first Richard Laymon book I ever read. I love that it is written as the journal of a lustful young man who outwardly appears to be very shy and quiet. This is the perfect book to read to achieve the "what if" factor of being deserted on an island. It shows just how quickly common courtesy and human restraint go in a situation where there is no one around to hold you accountable for your actions. The danger and suspense of the situation is only outweighed by the obvious sexual tension and attraction the main character feels towards the women stranded with him. He evolves throughout the story shocking the reader repeatedly with the simple and honest truth that even good boys can go bad!
