My mom told me she read this book when she was a freshman, and she thought that i would like it. And i dont like it, i ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! the book had a nice fresh start with very well dveloped characters. You feel like you are part of the book and feel you are in the same situation as the main character. A HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED fast paced thriller. :)

    Superb Little Story

    The Most Dangerous Game has been around a long while and has been redone in one way or another in books, plays, or movies for years. But, none compare to the original. I think I'm in agreement with the story editor about the ending. I recall thinking it was clever the first time I read it, but it really is too abrupt. The newly added content at the conclusion of original story is promising and seamless.

    The Most Dangerous Game

    mr.vellucci's class..english 9..at archbishop molloy h.s...we read this n it was good but its a clif hangerr n i thynk that it shouldv'e had an endin` but our teacher helps us to thynk `bout how it should end and hopw to analyze a characters personality to decide if it is reasonable decision that we make for tha character and it is a very good short story cliff-hanger but its a lott of funn to realli dwell on tha story and thynk `bout what could've happened.

    Overview

    (I'm not elaborate so sorry if this overview looks strange.) The book, 'The Most Dangerous Game' is about a guy who is shiprecked on an island with another guy (ooooh. Scary, right?) who wants to play a Dangerous Game. Guy #1 gets a knife and a water bottle and sets off into the jungle. Guy #2 tracks guy #1 and if he catches 1, 1 is killed. If 2 doesnt find 1 by the next day, 1 gets to kill 2. All in all, I liked it. Read it. ~D. M. J.~

    Overview

    Epic plot with a great twist as an ending. Great short work that reverses the roles on an experienced hunter. Great read.

    I enjoy this short story

    Although the ending is a little abrupt, I have enjoyed this story since seventh grade. The tricks that Rainsford adapts are similar to the technical jargon I read in Star Wars books that sometimes makes only a little sense, but adds flavor to the book, like a certain spice or taste of culture and background.

    Even better than I remember

    I read this back in school, over 20 years ago, and it has stuck with me all of these years. Although it is a quick read, its ability to captivate and entertain should not be underestimated.

    Great

    This is a really fun short story. It's only about 50 pages long. Definitely worth the time and price! What a short story should be.

    Gory and thrilling!

    Want to read something that is not your everyday fictional story? Here is an adventure of a demented general living on his own personal island. He brings people to his island to then hunt; it is all a game to him. I read it in middle school and finally found it after searching for two hours on the internet. A wonderful, fast and easy read. Gets your blood pumping in the first paragraph.
