"It is a great short story. One of the best that I have ever read. It is really exciting the moment that Rainsford stepped onto the island. As soon as he meets General Zaroff, the chase is on. Rainsford is running for his life to get his freedom back, or his life taken. I love it being in 3rd person, to see his perspective and more. Even though the ending is a bit uneventful, the story itself is amazing. To hunt, or be hunted."

— Arwen, 1/17/2014" A great adventure of survival against an implacable, arrogant, psycho. The source for many TV and Movie films. More of a long story than a novel. Date read is a guess. "
— Chris, 1/9/2014" The adept Richard Connell has created an exciting andeventure in Caribbean with shocking "game" changers around each corner. An amazing tale of (somewhat) caninalism, fear, and survival. "
— Cooper, 1/4/2014" I'm (re)visiting some classics in 2012. I felt like this story was on fast forward, like the author didn't take his time telling the story, only focusing on the good parts, and even the good parts were hurried through. There's SO much more to tell and can be told! Also, what happened to Whitney? "

— Violet, 7/24/2012" I only just remembered reading this story in high school. The memory was triggered by one of the many "dangerous game" adaptations that have been made from this story. I remember really liking it, although it sort of scared the crap out of me. This is one amazing and chilling story. "
— Charity, 7/24/2012" this was a very interesting book at some parts. But at other parts it is very boring. "

— Matthew, 12/21/2011" This short story was nothing but suspence it has you on the edge of your chair the whole time. the most intresting thing about this story is you think its about to be about hunting wild animal's but it turns out that human's are being hunted. "
— Cody, 11/30/2011" I found it hard to make an image in my head while I was reading. It was just weird. "
— Jazmyne, 11/23/2011" I read this book long ago in English class. While disturbing, it is one of the books that has burned a spot in my memory. Still remember reading this book like it was yesterday but its been almost 20 years now. Wow. "
— Candi, 6/12/2011" It was a good book. I like how the man that is getting hunted finaly relises that animals do feel pain. but the awful thing is that he had to find out the hard way. It's pretty cool how at the end he ends up eating the other guy. I like almost everything about this story. "
