Can you help me find examples of hyperbole in "The Most Dangerous Game"?

The characters in the story "The Most Dangerous Game" often use hyperbole or exaggeration that adds an extra emphasis to what is said. For example, at the beginning of the tale, when Rainsford is still on the boat, he and Whitney catch sight of Ship-Trap Island, which sailors dread. Whitney uses hyperbole when he tells Rainsford, "Even cannibals wouldn't live in such a God-forsaken place." This is clearly an exaggeration, as cannibals are the fiercest...

Whitney uses hyperbole when he tells Rainsford, "Even cannibals wouldn't live in such a God-forsaken place." This is clearly an exaggeration, as cannibals are the fiercest of people and do not generally fear much.

Whitney also notes that the crew seems nervous as they pass the island, and he remarks that even the captain seems jumpy. He says, "Yes, even that tough-minded old Swede, who'd go up to the devil himself and ask him for a light." This is another example of hyperbole, as no one can really approach the devil.

Later, General Zaroff says, "You were surprised that I recognized your name. You see, I read all books on hunting published in English, French, and Russian." It is doubtful that General Zaroff has read every single book published on hunting in three languages, no matter how well read he is.

Hyperbole in the story emphasizes how terrifying General Zaroff and his island are and how extreme the game the general is playing truly is. The characters' use of hyperbole in dialogue and the narrator's use of hyperbole in descriptions emphasize the surreal quality of what is going to happen in this tale.
