Talk about character development! This book was a masterclass on how to write characters and flesh out strong character backgrounds. Now this book was nothing like I expected. I thought I was getting a closed room horror, however this is really a literary novel that is mostly social commentary with a bit of horror thrown in. A lot of reviews stated this this was overly gore heavy however I didn't find it that way at all. It is made very clear that the things contestants are experiencing are fake so all the gore was fake. 

I'm not a huge literary fan however I did enjoy this and I can see this becoming a classic in the future. 

Bonus points for the awesome sprayed edges and cover design!
