Thread: The Most Dangerous Game

I just finished reading The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, a short story about a man who falls out of a yacht and winds up on an island home to a big game hunter. A very insane big game hunter.

I loved the story, I thought it rocked! Has anyone else read this before?

Here's a link: The Most Dangerous Game

Please read it and tell me what you think!

I had to read it for english last year during a short story unit. I thought it was good, one of the better short stories.

yeah, same here my favorite character? Ivan

I've read that. My brother who hates to read fiction said it was his favorite short story ever. I thought it was great too but mostly because everything else we read was like "life is a rose, my mother was like a flower too... until her pedals fell off..." Anything with great action like that is what we should be reading in school.

2 years ago, we read this in my english class. Funny thing is, after I read it, I saw the spoof of it on The Simpsons.

I read this years ago, and another story that either it was based on or was based on it. Then. more recently, I read it again for english class. Good story.
