Hmmm this book is rather predictable and overall kinda boring. A bunch of small town kids in rural New York set up and play a deadly game each year to win money. While some reviewers found this story line as unrealistic, I found it completely believable. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a small town, and we did stupid things like this all the time. We just weren’t organized enough to force everyone to contribute and play for money. I have no clue why this book was labeled as dystopia, nor do I have a clue why there was a few months wait on this book from the library.
