"Dying to Survive" or "Plenty of Fish"
By Scott Hildreth
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
The subject content of this book is not for everyone. If you
are easily offended then this is not the book for you. Ryan is an attractive, rich and successful 'investor' with
lots of issues from growing up a with an abusive father and then being rejected
from his choice of career as a psychologist. As though to prove he is cleverer
than everyone else, he sets up 'a game': four women and one challenge. The four
women are kidnapped and held in a room, with a set of instructions that if they
fail to follow, will result in all their deaths. The four women are identical
in looks but that is all they seem to have in common...except for their Plenty
of Fish accounts. When Ryan tells the women that on the following day at
08:00am one of the will volunteer to die or they all will be killed: the game
begins. This looks at the psychological impact on all the women and
how they cope in their different ways. Ryan believes that he can predict the
behaviour of the women but in their fight for survival anything goes. One thing is sure in this book: nobody is squeaky clean or
without reproach. Each does what ever it takes to survive, with sometimes
tragic consequences. Ryan is the lowest of the low, smarmy and arrogant, going
about his daily business as though nothing else is happening. There are many
twists and turns in the plot that keep you on the edge of your seat. Whilst the majority of this book is no worse than some of
the crime/thriller books I have read, it is the extreme sex scenes that some
will find disturbing. Whilst some would prefer that these types of scenes never
see the light of day and never talked about, the fact is that some people have
these fantasies.
