I really enjoyed this book. The whole premise, the writing (even if Allen once said “esophagus” when she meant “trachea”), the characters. Really fun in a kind of wicked way. The behind-the-scenes scheming of the show was absolutely delicious. This book would’ve been a 5 for me except for the end. I just couldn’t understand
why the women were so murderous? Why they kept sending people up there to be killed, even with so much attention from the outside? It just doesn’t make a lot of logical sense.  If the contestants could find Patricia’s graveyard of bones so easily, why couldn’t the police?
I also would’ve chosen a different voice actor for Lila Mae/May; every other actor’s voice really nailed it but that voice was too husky. It did not contribute to my rating, however.
