Review: Dark Eden

"Fifteen-year-old Will Besting is sent by his doctor to Fort Eden, an institution meant to help patients suffering from crippling phobias. Once there, Will and six other teenagers take turns in mysterious fear chambers and confront their worst nightmares—with the help of the group facilitator, Rainsford, an enigmatic guide. When the patients emerge from the chamber, they feel emboldened by the previous night's experiences. But each person soon discovers strange, unexplained aches and pains. . . . What is really happening to the seven teens trapped in this dark Eden?

Patrick Carman's Dark Eden is a provocative exploration of fear, betrayal, memory, and— ultimately—immortality."

Mr. Carmen presented such a great, freshly unique reading experience. I love the idea of facing your fear but curing it? It definitely caught my interest and held my every breath as I read through the pages. One unique twist of this book is the different point of views in the books. The reader see’s different characters face their fears one by one and be “cured.”

The mysterious of Fort Eden as well as the secrecy behind it had me reading the book faster. I love that the plot line never wavered far but kept you coming back for more. As the reader, you watch the seven teens face their fears and then become different almost robot like.  I loved that while reading this book all I could think about is not wanting the lights to go out or else I have to face my fear right then and there!

Dark Eden is a book like no other. Fear, experiments, no where to hide but no where to go. Dark Eden is dark and captivating having you hold on to what you fear the most. Will you face your fear? Read Dark Eden and find out!

I give it 4 BITES!
