A gripping debut novel about a survival reality show gone wrong that leaves a group of strangers stranded in the northern wilds

Four strangers and six weeks: this is all that separates Mara from one life-changing payday. She was surprised when reality TV producers came knocking at Primal Instinctâ??the survival school where she teaches rich clients not to die during a night outdoorsâ??and even more shocked to be cast in their new show, Civilization. Now she just has to live off the land with her fellow survivors for long enough to get the prize money.

Whisked by helicopter to an undisclosed location, Mara meets her teammates: The grizzled outdoorsman. The Eagle Scout. The white-collar professional. And Ashley, the beautiful but inexperienced one who just wants to be famous. Mara's unusual, rugged childhood has prepared her for the discomforts and hard work ahead. But trusting her fellow survivors? Not part of Mara's skill set.

When the cast wakes one morning to find something has gone horribly wrong, fear ripples through the group. Are the producers giving them an extra challenge? Or are they wrapped up in something more dangerous? Soon Mara and the others face terrifying decisions as "survival" becomes more than a game.

A provocative exploration of the comforts, rituals, and connections we depend upon, Small Game is a gripping page-turner and a poignant story about finding the courage to build a new life from the ground up… (más)

    Aug3Zimm: Similar plot (survival tv show) but with an apocalyptic twist that makes it more of a psychological thriller.

As a person very entertained by reality TV and shows like Survivor I liked the premise of this book and I know who Blair Braverman is so I thought it would be a real winner. Sadly, it was just sort of meh.

I liked the set up but then the mysterious disappearance of the crew happens and there's some drama about being abandoned and some stuff happens but at the same time almost nothing happens. There's no explanation for any of it, the escape/rescue is glossed over and I left the book feeling like I was deprived of half the story. Just unsatisfying overall. ( )

Fun survival story. The details felt real. Not a terrifically memorable book overall but a good bowl of potato chips.

A book with a plot familiar to those that watch the "survivor" series on television. Mara teaches classes on survival skills and cs chosen to spend six weeks with three others in the wilds. They have their struggles but things really take a turn when the television camera crew comes up missing and they are truly on their own, Not a whole lot unique about this one. ( )

Five people set out on a reality show about wilderness survival. The narrator is a woman raised by survivalists who’s tried to find a way out, but needs money to have choices. She falls fast and hard for Ashley, who’s there to get famous. Then, a few weeks before the scheduled end, things change fast, and the show turns deadly real. It’s got a lot of sharp observations about how women manage men for their advantage and safety; the narrator is very conscious of what she’s doing but also understandably does not feel powerful in doing it. Survival, here, is not about wilderness competence but about the benefits of connection and larger human society. It ends kind of abruptly, as if Braverman wasn’t interested in the denouement, which I very much was. ( )

Four strangers enter a six-week survivor competition for a reality TV show called Civilization. Mara is employed by a survival school where she teaches the well off how to survive in the wilderness for a night or two. When she is selected for the competition, she sees this as her ticket to a new life. Dropped blindfolded into competition, Mara meets her fellow contestants. An 18-year-old Eagle Scout, an outdoorsman, a white-collar worker and Ashley, whose goal is to be famous. Each of the contestants needs the $100,000 cash prize, so that they too can transform their lives. Early into the competition, something goes horribly wrong. The producer and sound crew vanish. At first, the group believe this to be some sort of challenge. As the days go by, they grow to understand that they have been abandoned and that they truly must work as a team for them to have even a chance at survival.

Small Game is an interesting concept. A production company loses its funding and cannot continue filming the show, so it has to pull the plug. The idea that they would forget about its cast, leaving them stranded in a forest is astounding though. The characters speculate what happened to the crew, but there is never a concrete answer given as to how they were forgotten. There really should have been a more solid explanation given for what happened. The lack of it gives the book a feeling of being incomplete. ( )
