Review: Bastian and Raine
Rating: 5 out of 5

What I liked and disliked about this was Bastian's imperfections. Drinking,cursing,hauling around that enormous chip on his shoulder, he dislikes everyone except his beautiful Raine. Willing to do anything to keep her,Bastian must "compete" to the death with others from his old life in the mob. It's Hunger Games meets the mob,survival of the fittest. Raine is very forgiving and understands Bastian despite himself. He doesn't make things easy for her, but because she loves him unconditionally, she stays with him. I loved Bastian first meeting Alex. He is an unassuming  six year old, with a personality very similar to his father. Bastian has to survive this tournament or lose his reason for living.
