I really liked this. I thought the moral dilemma posed was interesting and well-framed.
I liked the writing style and as a short story, it was perfect.

It is a great short story. One of the best that I have ever read. It is really exciting the moment that Rainsford stepped onto the island. As soon as he meets General Zaroff, the chase is on. Rainsford is running for his life to get his freedom back, or his life taken. I love it being in 3rd person, to see his perspective and more. Even though the ending is a bit uneventful, the story itself is amazing. To hunt, or be hunted.

I watched the movie based (loosely) on this book a couple months ago and it was really good. Definitely better than the book. The book - or short story really - was alright. Nothing great, nothing bad. Just short and what it was.
Oh how I wish this short story could be an entire book. I want an expansion in the ending! I will always love this classic.
