review 1: I really enjoyed this story. It is also totally possible. Some people are totally set in their ways that they don't even know why they are doing it except the fact that it was what their ancestors did. I mean, people would stone their own parents or kids! I don't think something this big would actually happen in the U.S., but Jackson used a big thing that we modern people think of as inhumane, so we would get the point. Even if it's something really small, I tradition can be just as stupid and useless as the town in this stories lottery.
review 2: This was amazing omg. It left me breathless. I didn't know where the story was going, but when realization hit me, it hit me hard. It was incredibly well-written and I wish the story would have been longer, so I could... more know how people go on with their life after this terrible event. The concept reminds me a little bit of The Hunger Games. I can't believe people are okay with this and some even want this to continue. less
