justagremlin's review against another edition

You know I said I didn't DNF books much, but I REALLY do not like Stephen King writing characters that are children. I was only like 20% in and I had seen enough. The concept is interesting so it makes me sad that I couldn't finish it. But seriously within the first PAGE. THE. VERY. FIRST. PAGE. We're commenting on the main character's mom's tits. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? And this is just the first of many times we get "Men Writing Women Syndrome." And it's just very very very very icky to read and gross and bad and I can't even write grammatically correct sentences anymore. Also, I can't speak on the rest of the book obviously but it was getting a bit repetitive. 

They walk. They banter. Sex reference. Someone gets shot.
They walk. They banter. Sex reference. Someone gets shot.
They walk. They banter. Sex reference. Someone gets shot.
They walk. They banter. Sex reference. Someone gets shot.

Again I can't speak on the rest of the novel, I only stopped 20% in.

Recommend to: If you think the concept is neat and can suffer through "men writing women syndrome"

The walk is nonstop and it is literally torture for the participants, if you fall behind you are shot after three warnings.

Misogyny, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Content

These characters are so horny all the time, and this book as a case of men writing women syndrome, frequent mentions of boobs, sex, and boners and its really icky and gross and bad to read

Racism/Racial Slurs

In the second chapter, the contestant that dies is black and all the characters are racist to the black character.

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.
