4.5

Before reading this book, I expected some thrill or excitement because the title states that it is a GAME. Perhaps I took the title too literally. I didn't know/expect it was just about finding clues or finding the true meaning of someone's name. I expected something more dangerous and thrilling—in short, deadly games. But despite of my expectations, it is still a good book. I actually finished it within a day. It was enjoyable—in some parts, I'd say. This book deserves a high rating.
