Ending kind of falls short, but I still give high rating because of the unique story line. When american horror starts to seem bland or repetitive it's good to get a new sense of creepy from the Japanese. (  )danofthedead33 | Aug 6, 2008 |   An interesting novel not unlike the Running Man or Battle Royale. Not so much a horror story as an adventure about survival when humans are put on an island and are told to find their way out or die. There are some pretty good tense moments in the read and clever bits so it doesn't feel like a bunch of people just running around all the time dying.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 193223411X, Paperback)From a rising new star of horror comes a killer read that will make you lose track of time and reality. The Crimson Labyrinth is a wicked satire on extremist reality TV in the tradition of The Running Man-if that indeed is what it is. Welcome to THE MARS LABYRINTH where things aren't what they seem. Welcome to the world of Kishi, where the plot is as gnarly as the humor is twisted.When an unemployed former math major wakes up one day, he wonders if he's somehow ended up on the red planet. The good-looking young woman with aid-she says her name is Ai and that she draws erotic comics for a living-seems to have no clue either as to their whereabouts. Their only leads are cryptic instructions beamed to a portable device. Has the game begun? There is no reset button, no saving and no continue-make the wrong move and it's really GAME OVER. In the cruel world of THE MARS LABYRINTH, mercy and compassion are only for the weak or the very, very strong. The stakes are nothing less than your life-and apparently a lot of money. If you're a fan of Lost or Battle Royale, don't miss this one. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:23 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
