Book Review of The Dead Game

The Dead Game
The Dead Game
Author: A. Bates
Genre: Teen & Young Adult
Book Type: Paperback


The game
got out
of control....

Nobody was really sopposed to get hurt.The
Dead Game was just something that Linnie,
Ming,and Jackson made up senior year to get
back at some people who definitely deserved it-
the cheats,the liars,the put-down artists.To
"kill" someone,you only had to embarrass them
in public.But that's not what happened.
The first target ended up in the hospital.More
freak accidents followed-and then somebody wound
up dead.The three friends quit playing the game-
but the game wouldn't quit.The Dead Game wasn't
just a game anymore.
