Not one of my favorites, but it was fun to read. I felt the necessity to write a review because a lot of people is comparing the book to The Hunger Games and accusing it of being a copy as if The Hunger Games was a completely original story (hello Battle Royale). The thing is, they aren't even that similar.
The story talk about how these young group of people have to prepare their whole life for a sick game that will decide the future - or lack of future - of earth. But being the last one alive isn't enough to win, they need to complete the task given otherwise it's all going to shit anyway.
It's a fun story to read and it's full of action and is clear all the work and passion the writer's had for this work in all the details they created (my book had even links to websites). I didn't give more stars because I didn't created a deep connection with almost no character, but will definitely give the sequence a try.
