Series Review: Graphic Survival Stories
"...While these are survival stories, and the outcome therefore isn't in doubt, the details are gruesome enough to attract readers who enjoy the extreme--for example, many of the protagonists in the comic-book-style tales satisfy their need for water by drinking fresh animal blood. The only instance of cannibalism (in Sea) is given a much lighter touch. More visceral thrills than how-to references, these grisly depictions of harrowing experiences will entertain."
