dark

5.0
I don’t really know where to start, my dad had recommended me to read this book. I know that is irrelevant, but anyways he hadn’t read it himself. He only knew that it was a bit like Hunger Game only this came out first and is darker?(I don’t know if it is, I have not read Hunger Games myself)
I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you like gore and Hunger Games you’d probably enjoy this book. It’s a dark and fast paced book even with 620 something pages. We follow Shuya and his classmates of Shiroiwa Junior High School, ninth grade class B. On their way to a school trip, that turns out to be something else. Where they are left on an island to battle out and fight to survive. Definitely not a book for someone squeamish, as there is a lot of graphic death and lots of gore. But as a avid gore fan and thriller fan I highly recommend this book.
