its_catherine 's review for:

The Running Man by Stephen King, Richard Bachman
3.75

This takes place in 2025 which is seen as a futuristic world. A man is selected into a televised “game” that allows him to earn money for his family. He gets more the longer he lasts. The kick is everyone is out to get him. Can he make it 30 days on the run? 

This is very dystopian. I’m not a big fan of books like this but it was pretty good. I was on the edge of my seat until they got on the plane. I became frustrated with the novel after that.
