![]() Is anybody bored already? I certainly was, and even though this was not a long novel (256-pages) it was a struggle to finish. All the fourteen contestants have to do is hide for long periods and that’s just about it, until something begins to go wrong. However, whilst the games played in Squid Game are exceptionally clever, bloody, varied and imaginative, they are the exact opposite in Hide. All they have in common is the fact that they involve a secret game in which contestants are systematically eliminated, it’s obvious how the killing occurs in Squid Game and is a key ingredient of the mystery in Hide. If you buy this book on the back of enjoying the smash South Korean Netflix hit show then you will be deeply, deeply disappointed. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kiersten White’s adult debut Hide is blessed with one of the most misleading by-lines I have read in years “ The book you need after Squid Game” on its Amazon page. ![]()
