I love playing battle royales so i found the main plot appealing, the random sexualization of characters, most of them minors made it kinda hard to enjoy at times though. and the ending was... um...

King sure is comfortable sexualizing his minor characters.

Who knew someone could write a whole book on this one specific concept and it'd be so tense and compelling? I now know that Stephen King can!

I wasn't left 100% satisfied with it but it's a very clever, dark book, with lots to talk and think about.

I skipped a 100 pages cause I was getting tired of all the sexist comments in the book. But I did wanted to know how it ends.
