    Good, Quick Read. Not at all what I expected.

    The book was not at all what I expected. I have spent the past year reading a few of the new dystopia book series such as Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, and Matched. I expected The Game to be much like those series, especially where it involved a game like the others. However, it was a completely different feel and an original idea. I was pleasantly surprised with the overall story. Its very light reading and not to serious. Its a quick and easy read and the book felt like a complete circle with a satisfactory ending. I can see how there may be a future sequel but the book in itself is complete.
