Secondly, and this is where I had to knock a point off: there was way too much “oh these silly kids and their phones! It was because they didn’t have social media that they jumped into violence!” BS for me.
Overall, this was “Lord of the Flies at Disney World”, but using the interview-style narrative made it seem less cookie-cutter, and the different perspectives kept it from getting stale. The entirety of the book is told through interviews with employees, supervisors, and rescue services, and that framing device is, to me, what makes the story so effective. Suddenly, these employees, mainly teenagers fresh out of high school, find themselves split into tribes and fear quickly turns to violence.įirst off: whoa! This was an intense, bleak read. Like the adverts say, “Fun is guaranteed!” That is, until Hurricane Sadie hits and all of FantasticLand’s employees find themselves trapped with, thanks to supervisor mishandling, absolutely no hope of rescue any time soon.
Summary: Welcome to FantasticLand! A hugely immersive theme park in Daytona, Florida where you can visit lands like Pirate Cove, Future World, Hero Haven, and more. Book Review: “FantasticLand” by Mike Bockoven
