- WARNING! This video contains spoilers for The Troop, a 2014 novel by author Nick Cutter (Pen Name). This video is intended for those that have read the novel and are looking for a refresher, or haven't read it, but don't mind it being spoiled. You've been warned.
The Troop follows a small troop of Canadian boy scouts who are on a remote island off the coast, called Falstaff. They plan to step away from technology and participate in outdoor activities as part of the scout program, led by Tim, their scoutmaster. While the troop is settling in on the island, a mysterious stranger arrives ashore. The stranger is sick, with what, Tim doesn't know, but he is a doctor and feels obligated to help. That effort to assist the man quickly spins out of control, resulting in one horrifying tale that really gets under your skin. The Troop was far more unsettling than I initially expected, but worth the read. Additional warning though, there is some animal brutality in this story, so if tread lightly. I didn't like those sections, but maybe that is the point.

That little section towards the end where that girl messaged Newt's online persona... I think it was the girl that Newt earlier in the book said was beautiful and whatever else. That section really broke my heart
After reading this book I saved this video to watch, expecting the account to have thousands of subscribers. I just now realized it’s a hidden gem! Love these videos, keep it up!!
Genuinely one of the best disturbing horror novels I've read. It's well written, the pacing is fantastic, and most importantly IT'S ACTUALLY SCAREY. The horror genre has become so diluted with hacks over the years, it was refreshing to find a novel of this calibre. I give it 10/10
Finished the book like 5 minutes ago and came here asap ong ong. This was such a good recap format video. The book was crazy asf but I had to skip the cat n turtle scene 😭😭 5/5 book for me cuz this shit had me hooked
This neeeeeds to be made into a movie
this has got to be one of the greatest channels i’ve ever stumbled across. Combining my love for the 8 but art style and horror!!
So glad I ran into this video loved the book and this was a fun creative way to revisit the story
can anyone suggest a book similar to this? i didn’t want to read it myself bc i can’t cope with cruelty to animals but i love the concept
Another fantastic video!!! Thank you!
Max is clearly infected....LOL....or he has survivor's guilt, which pushes him to return to the island....
I really enjoyed this review, especially the interpretation of why Max went back to the island. Well done!
The algorithm has really blessed me today with this absolutely fantastic channel!
I just read the book and I’ve now become introduced to this channel. What a wonderful book + summary. Keep up the great work! 👍
Currently reading this book, stumbled on your vid, I love the premise. I subscribed, will come back to finish the vid and look for other reviews/recommendations
Such a wild book, just finished it. Loved it! Would absolutely make an amazing movie
It's been a while since I read the book, but I don't remember Shelby attacking the kids back in the cave. I remember the kids arriving in the cave and finding his dead body. Then something inside of him starts to move. His body explodes and they run away.
An amazing video! Wow this is such high quality
Your 4 videos are all well done. Hope to see more!
