Ok that is wrong. The host doesn't withhold heat, power, and food. The Writers themselves sabotage everything in order to make the ordeal seem more tramatic. It's more of a cabin fever type thing. They even resort to cannibalism on a whim. This is the most disturbing book I've ever read on some levels. If they do this write, which I doubt they will, if could be freakin insane! At the very beginning a guy gets his intestines prolasped into a pool filter and has to gnaw them in two! Tell me thats going to hit the screen and I'll wait in line for tickets baby!!!!
