The Compound by Aisling Rawle
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Ah, alas, this is a total bust for me. It has everything I disrespect: voting off the island crap, reality tv crap, desperate-for-fun/survival kids who're too stupid they're being used and discarded for cheap thrills crap.

I mean... crap. I avoided a whole decade and a half of tv because of this shit. Why would I want to READ it, too?

So, yeah, you're in the compound and you have to find and share a bed with a stranger for ratings, but all the time, the sponsors will make you eat grass or pull stupid stunts for food.

What the hell is this? An allegory for work, society? Or just a bargain-bin reality tv show knockoff in text? Prolly both. And honestly, it's annoying as all hell.

Sorry, it's me, not you, Compound. Or maybe it is you. Oh, well.
