Excellent story! It really holds your interest. As an adult with my 14 year old also reading the book, I did struggle with the author's subject matter for teens. This book is written as a teen book. It is just that in the story they had to fight to the death and I don't think the author made the horrible deaths very real to teens. She just brushes over them killings very lightly, but would I want teens reading the violence that is actually happening, no. So, the story is compelling, I highly recommend it for adults and for teens reading it, please remember that in reality the main character would be so traumatized from this forced experience that she would be broken and most likely in therapy for years. So, not at all realistic, but a compelling story.
