GAMELAND IS CLOSED. THAT IS THE LAW. -TOM IMURA 
 Shit that was freaking awesome and worth an all nighter. I've been reading it all the way from 1 am to 5:30 right now and dang! This book blew my head off. 
 Jonathan Maberry has some nice trick to his endings, they are so fulfilling. 
 Benny's character grew beyond all hopes and the dynamic between him and Tom was worth the read, even without everything else. 
 Tom was again the knight in shining armor for all the Ruin. He was the person you'd try to be like. The one line by him that was touching, "No Benny, don't search for safety. Go find somewhere you can be free. Alive and free. And don't stop till you do." 
 I don't think any review I write can do justice to the book. Lilah was amazing and Chong matured quite a lot. The only character lacking some was Nix. She has been at a constant level from the start to the end. The antagonists were gruesome and the plot too cruel. The end was pure sadness. Why, Maberry, why? Even a dystopia lover like me could take a few happy endings.
