Although I initially found the book difficult to believe as it set up the premise of the "Games Club", I was willingly and eagerly suspending my disbelief within a few chapters as the story pulled me along into a complex game between a dangerous set of contestants who will do anything to win.Populated with characters who are sociopathic, narcissistic, and arrogant, the story makes it difficult to find anyone to root for. But who cares? The action blasts along in visually wrought scenes that would work brilliantly at the moving picture show, the story is interesting with a number of twists, and the ending is ultimately satisfying.Although the book is fast-paced, the author takes the time and care to develop the main character in all his evil glory. I had to keep reading to find out if he got his comeuppance!If you like a book where the evil characters are capable of redemption, skip this one. Raymond, the protagonist, is a real bad guy. However, if you are a fan of Jeff Lindsay's Dexter series and other dark suspense/thriller writers, you will probably enjoy this one.
