Blood-pumping book that keeps you guessing

An amazing first entry in an interesting science-fiction world with great characters. Although the setting is quite interesting, the book stands thanks to its main character and how he always keeps you guessing on what he'll do next. It also doesn't pull any punches, and plenty of important characters don't make it like other, more optimistic books

Takes me back to when I read the Hunger Games in a day.

So dramatic, so campy but damn an entertaining page turner that I could not put down.
