It had been about 10 years since I’ve read this and pleasantly surprised by how well that it’s held up in my memory. Can’t wait to reread the remainder three books in the series.

I forgot how gripping this book was (I read it a long time ago). I couldn't put it down. It's frightening how much it resonates with today.

In short, this book is absolutley fabulous! It's original and engrossing and makes you think and horrifies you while it entertains you. I don't even know what else to say about it. It's the best new book that I've read in as long as I can remember!

Reread before the movie. Still love it =)

Pretty good. I would like this series better if it was just this book. Aparently this was a plagurism of La battle de Royale.
