Mild spoiler:  in this series, Del Toro LOVES scenes where people are in the dark, navigating by the light of their cell phone screen.   It happens several times, but is a bit dated, because no one has the flashlight app, so they all get about ten feet of creepy green light, with suspicious noises just outside their…

Sorry, the first book is probably the best of the three.  (The second focuses more on the characters, so I could see preferring that one, but it's not much better.)  The third is definitely the worst.

Teams two and three both go to tribal council.   Jeff draws from an urn that has three rocks for team three, one for team two, and the losing team has to vote out a member.    That way, you get scheming on both teams, plus if you want, you can have both tribes air their dirty laundry in council before you tell them…

AB - it was better than an actual quote; it was art that sucked reality dry and replaced it, like a pod person or the ingenue in Sunset Boulevard.
