Pines (novel) review

Recommended for people who liked: The Maze Runner, The Purge: Anarchy, and Twin Peaks.
Wayward Pines is paradise, or at least that's what everyone else thinks. Ethan finds that it isn't all that it seems, that it, in fact, might be the opposite. A high electrical fence surrounds the small mountain town, the question is: Is the wall there to keep the people in or to keep something out?
I won't disclose too much of the plot since it would spoil the major twists in the novel and the Fox TV series.
Language: 20-30 f words, one or two combined with "mother" one use of c-cks-cker, handful of uses of sh-t, a--, damn, and hell.
Sexual Content: Someone has a flashback to an affair, a couple of kisses, and one or two sexual references.
Violence: A woman is publicly beaten to death via baseball bat. While it's not too brutal it is emotional. A couple of people are killed by a man with a machete. A man almost has his chest torn open. He beats several creatures with rocks, knives, and guns. A crazy nurse chases a patient and tells him if he doesn't show himself, she will take away his anesthetic for his surgery, so he'll be able to feel the surgery. She stabs a man several times with a syringe, as he throws her into a wall. A man is left to be torn apart by many creatures. A man has flashbacks to when he was tortured in Iraq with some descriptions. There are a couple of references to torture. A man is found dead and rotting.
Drug and Alcohol: A couple of people have beers and smoke a cigarette.
Age Rating: 14/15+
