Trapped

like many of the characters in this novel it is very possible to be trapped in this book. You absolutely cannot put it down towards the end. I grew up playing the game never realizeing it was based on a book until I chanced across "Unidentified", with the words from the author of " The 7th Guest". I highly recommend this to everyone. It is on the short side, so for those of us with busy schedules it is the perfect just before bedtime book.

A great game, A great book.

The ending is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It was a bit choppy and through me for a loop. But it was a fun read. If you got into the video game, you will really like this book too.

This book is wonderful!!!

I hate reading, especially if it's a book with no meaning. One day I went shopping with my dad and I saw this book on a shelf picked it up and started reading it inside the store cause it loked so interesting. I started reading it and right from the beggining it was spectacular. I of course begged my dad to get it and I still haven't finished reading it. I'm telling you it is a great book!!

My friend read this book, and she says it's great!

This is freaky. My friend hates to read. Suddenly, she reads this book, and she can't stop reding! It's amazing! Books can't get any better than that! As far as what I've read, I think it's bizarre. There is a lot of killings. But the money you would spend would be worth it! If my friend can't stop reading, this HAS to be a great book! I hope I can find it somewhere!

Definitely worth it for true fans of the game

Well, after a lot of searching, I finally got a hold of this book, and it was certainly worth all of the $15 I paid. The novel explains many things that were never made clear in the game: Stauf's past, the motives of the guests, and the fates of Temple and Knox. Not Newberry prize quality, but if you liked the game, this novel is definitely worth a look.
