Quick listen packed with action

I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick listen and full of action. The premise is that people volunteer and are chosen for a game of hide and seek that turns out to be a game of survival. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I would have liked more background on the game itself and the organization behind it. How was it developed and was there a purpose other than the prize? The winner had his theories but no answers were really given. The narrator did a good job with this book. He struck me as just a regular guy who got himself in over his head. His voice fit the character well.

Makes you think, "What would I do?"

Great story. Grips you right from the onset. Very nice narration and well drawn characters. Worth the listen!
