The Eighth Square

De: Herbert Lieberman

Narrado por: Stephen Hoye

For an unsuspecting group of friends, a hike through the forest turns into a desperate fight for survival. Mr. Rogers is the ideal guide for a few neighbors looking to survey a large, wooded piece of property: He remembers every tree, stream, and bush; when there’s a fork in the road, he knows which way to go. But the surveying trip goes horribly wrong when Rogers suffers a debilitating heart attack and the group is left wandering lost through the woods, with Rogers a murmuring shadow of his former self. Almost immediately, tensions that have existed among the friends since childhood begin to flare up. The forest grows darker and more threatening. Leadership claims are staked and rescinded. Fears start to overwhelm rational decision-making. Then Rogers starts spouting instructions in what sounds like a mystic cipher. The Eighth Square is a rollicking psychological thriller that deftly demonstrates how thin the barrier between man and animal truly is.

Stupid story with cavalier racial epithet

A sorry ignorant story that tries to masquerade itself as being about people who are consider themselves to be more elite than they are as this writer considers himself more talented than he is. The cruelty adults mete out on one another in extreme circumstances is the point of the story. By the time you get to end and twist you hate everything about book, characters and author( if you finish it) you could care less!! Save yourself!! Run from this ridiculousness
