Review:

Lyall has produced a model of the breathtaking narrative in The Most Dangerous Game.[he] writes with zest and bite; he is a master of the rare art of storytelling. (Anthony Boucher New York Times Book Review)

A glorious tale, vivid in character and escapade. (Book Week)

Carey is great with a gun and deadpan about danger as he weaves through prohibited territory, eluding bears and crooks and radar in his beat-up old aeroplane. (The Spectator 1964-03-13)
