Addicted

I just got this book yesterday and for some reason I just can't put it down. I made the mistake of bringing it to work, but I guess, as I mentioned in my previous post, it's not like I don't have the time to sit and read anyway.

I'm only a little over 1/3rd of the way in, but it's really addicting 'cause I have to know what happens! It's basically real-life survivor. They take 24 people and plop in one big area where they not only have to survive the elements, but each other as well. They have to kill each other, and the last one alive is the winner and they televise it to everyone for entertainment. Basically if Survivor and Gladiator mated and made a reality show, this would be it. Sounds brutal, I know. The killing hasn't actually started yet where I'm at, so who knows-I could come back saying it absolutely sucks, but so far I definitely recommend it.

The sucky/enticing thing about it is I'm pretty confident one of the other "tributes" or contestants loves the main character. So, the problem is how the heck can they be together if they're forced into killing each other to survive? Well, that's why I keep turning the pages 'cause I have to find out!

Here's a link to the first chapter on amazon.com, and you can be as addicted as me.

I will probably be finished soon so if you wanna borrow just let me know.
