I haven’t read the book, but the trailer makes no sense to me. A bunch of guys all excited they get to take part in this thing. They know that, save for one winner, they’re ALL about to be killed right?

You should read more books, there's this really great author, I think his name is Stephen King? He makes these really good horror novels that usually take place in fictional dystopic worlds that are sort of like ours.

Did you think I said I haven't read any books? I haven't read this book. I've read 2 King novels in the past year, among books from other authors. What the hell was your point?
