"Both the stakes and the body count are higher in this suspenseful and unstoppable sequel from acclaimed author Barry Lyga." Goodreads.com
Holly Cow, what a sequel! Once again, Mr. Lyga did not disappoint me (however he left me on the hanging on a very large cliff). If you enjoyed I Hunt Killers, be sure to read Game. The only suggestion I have for the reader, wait to read this until 2014, when the next book comes out. That way you won't be stranded on this damn cliff for so long.
Jasper is still a great character, he has not solved his internal conflicts, and still questions his motives. This time around we get to know Jasper's girlfriend a bit better. She is feisty, strong willed and only wants to help Jasper; this can be a problem some of the time. We also get to know more about Jasper's background, his mother, his father, and his father's warped sense of the world. The plot moves along at a fast pace with a few sub plots running alongside. Lyga ties in all of the plots by the end of the book, but like I said before, leaves you dangling from a very large cliff.
Read I Hunt Killers and Game. Once again some of the scenes in this book are brutal, but they advance the plot and shows the brutality of Jasper's world.
