Book Review: SCUM ISLAND: Stand for Truth No Matter the Cost by Michael Lee

---

My Review: 

Highly Engaging

Immersed in a brutal video game, our mc has a job to do: take down the vile company that has subjected them to this horror. The twists are nicely done and the fight scenes keep you on your toes. I really enjoyed this one!

However, although there were some nice quotes, there were a few unique phrases I felt were repeated too many times. It took me out of the story. But the good thing is, this story is easy to get back into. It’s quick and I absolutely love the ending. You don’t want to miss this one.

Summary: 

Fong, a 30-year-old man who dared to stand for truth, is trapped in the deadly game of Scum Island. Driven to expose an evil corporation, Fong's integrity leads to his capture and placement on the island, where survival becomes a perverse form of entertainment. Stranded and left to the whims of a brutal rating system, Fong and his fellow captives must earn fame points—through battling monstrous foes and one another—for the bare necessities.

As they gather points, they navigate the omnipresent threat of a kill switch implanted by the corporation, a numerical tattoo on their arms, and the shifting alliances of the game. But survival is only the beginning. As the stakes rise, an unexpected betrayal and shocking revelations compel Fong and his band of survivors to challenge the corporation at its very core.

Prepare for heart-stopping action, emotional intrigue, and unexpected twists in this uncut downable narrative where the line between game and reality blurs, and survival is just the first move on the board.
