Soon Jack discovers the startling information of who he is and what and who he is meant to be. He must participate in a deadly game and will have to face a challenge against another of his kind. If he can't face the challenge he must face death. Will Jack meet the challenge or die trying . . . I thoroughly enjoyed this book because of the action that the author provided and because you could never figure out how the author would conclude the book without one of the characters facing a tragedy that would turn readers away. I found that most of the book was the preparation and adventure leading up to the game rather than mostly the game. I would have enjoyed it a little more if there was just a little bit more of the challenge, however the rest of the book was so thrilling anyway. There was a very small bit of swearing because the characters are a little bit older but you don't really notice it. I would highly recommend this book; it is a great read and very thrilling I would rate this book: A Great Read 4.5 Stars * * * *.5 |
