About this listen

In the near future, where America has become a police state, one hundred boys are selected to enter an annual contest where the winner will be awarded whatever he wants for the rest of his life.

The game is simple - maintain a steady walking pace of four miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings, and you're out - permanently.

Great story, Great narration, ending was a bit dull though.

Apparently I need more words to complete the review.

Mostly Great, but inconclusive ending

On the whole I enjoyed the book. It’s a really interesting premise and goes from absolute horror - to funny - to absolutely gut wrenching. It’s well written (of course) but the ending left me unsatisfied. A lot of the surrounding detail is left for the reader to assume - I would have liked some further detail. The narration was excellent and I couldn’t put it down.

Enjoyed it but…
