review 1: While this book was very graphic and disturbing, if you can get past that (or if you like that kind of thing - like the Saw movies, but more intense), it's really a pretty good book. Unique premise, which is quite unusual anymore, and very hard to put down. The way it ended made me immediately want to pick up the second book in the trilogy (but upon reading the reviews for that, and knowing how disappointed I've been with second and third books in trilogies, I'm now reconsidering).
review 2: Steven, his wife Rebecca and several others wake after being brutally captured and find themselves in "The Game," a gruesome, gladiator-like environment where they fight to the death with others like them. Sometimes, though, the object of The Game is to rape or maim. Still,... more it's pretty vile. Steven, however, is shocked at how well his wife has adjusted, especially after the murder of Steven's two sons, and how she, well, actually seems to be enjoying the bizarre hell that is now their life. This is a compelling, gory read, but also actually quite good! The writing, apart from some minor editing errors, is pretty polished, and the story hard to look away from. Violence and cannibalism abound, so be warned if you're at all squeamish, although I did not think any of it gratuitous at all. less
