I voted "it was good." Interesting, quick-running plot. Character development a bit lacking.

Without giving anything away, what made you dislike it so much?

I have given this one a 5 befoe, but I think I am going to go with 4 this time. That will be my way of saying that The Long Walk was better. But I did like this story, though it felt more like a novella to me. I agree with the lack of character development.

Loved it and am very shocked at the poll so far. Screw SK's opinion on this one, it was raw and dirty, no PC to it.

I gave it a 4 too, very good story, but not great!

Without giving anything away, what made you dislike it so much?Everything about it. It just sounds false to me, the characters, the development and all.

I was never really struck on this book, I am unsure of it was the way it was written or the story itself?

Ah, so-so. It's not totally irredeemable. A certain raw charm. A nugget of quality. But not a good book. Juvenile, trivial.

The poll has closed. Rage has earned a FAS (final average score) of 3.555555556 or 71.11%, placing 5th (last) in this bracket. It will not be moving on to Round 2.

Back in the pre-Colombine days when I read this book, I thought it was good.

4.
