Polak's cautionary work is hauntingly convincing. -- Carol-Ann Hoyte Montreal Review of Books

Polak's cautionary work is hauntingly convincing. Polak has created a story that is entrenched with the reality surrounding teenagers today....On the Game is a story for every teenager, both male and female. For the male, the novel teaches the lesson of the need to take care of other's feelings, and for the female, it shows that it is sometimes necessary to ask for help if you do not think you can say no. A book that, once it is started, is difficult to put down.
