If you are at all familiar with Aron's writing, then you should be well prepared for the darkness that lies within his storytelling. But you should also be expecting superb character developement, well developed plots, and unique settings. Monsters are real, and they don’t look quite like the supernatural depictions on the silver screen. They look just like you and me.” This is a CHUNKY BOI for Aron and there was not a single moment that disappointed. It’s delusional in the best way. It’s absolutely disgusting. It is everything you could ever want out of an Aron Beauregard book. I am always impressed with how creatively insane this author is. He pushes boundaries and makes the reader want to hide the book in case anyone beside them gets a glimpse at the words. I love it!

I did not like this book. I wanted to, I could see that there was a point haunting the edges of the book. But I just, I just couldn't.You will see some parallels with that movie when you read this one, but it is hard to imagine how far the author went with this one. If this was made into a movie, it would never see the light of day. It is SAW on steroids to the AAHHHHH degree.

splatterpunk is a genre with potential. unfortunately, there was no compelling story underneath the salacious gore of playground. the gore was decently written, but everything else was subpar.

At the heart of this story, one can't help but develop a connection and just feel every gut wrenching punch as each child must make their choices.

The children will surprise you as your going on this vile and twisted adventure right along with them. The choices they will have to make, the choices some of them do make, and the consequences of thier actions. The familiarity of their childhood is captured really well. The soft hearted, the hard hearted, the shy and meek, the conformed and the broken. I loved them all and was routing for them no matter their character, after all they are just kids.What I didn’t like: You’ll need to go into this fully allowing yourself to just believe. Sure the scope/scale of these indoor rooms is insane. And so are the elaborate punishment devices that have been booby-trapped within each one to decimate the participants, but that’s part of the joy of reading something to just read and have fun. If you struggle to suspend belief for any amount of time, you’ll most likely want to stay clear of this one. Three low-income families have been given a handsome retainer to join Geraldine Borden for a day at her cliffside estate. All the parents must do to collect the rest of their money is allow their children to test out the revolutionary playground equipment Geraldine has been working on for decades. But there’s a reason the structures in the bowels of her gothic castle have taken so long to develop—they were never meant to see the light of day.
