The pacing was rough for me. The first third of the book is just the lead-up to the action. Then once we're in the real stuff, everyone is so stupid. First of all, I'm not sure the author knows what a pupil is. Second, you can absolutely drink pool water in an emergency situation come tf on. I later assumed that Daniel was saying not to as pure sabotage, but come ON Caz. I never had a sense of real danger, everything was easily escapable, and there was no good reason for the characters not to just sit down and wait. Sure, that's later explicitly articulated that to the audience-proxy introduced in the last third, but that was telling not shoiwng. There was no *demonstrated* inevitable danger. In fact, there was a lot of telling instead of showing, especially with explaining the dark web and the state of reality tv. This could've been a thrilling commentary on media consumption but instead it was bland. And don't even get me started on the whole body eyeroll that escaped me at the ending.

Wow! Not even sure what to say about this…it was so addictive- I could hardly put it down! I really enjoyed this but I must admit there were points I thought it was poorly edited. Some things could have been cut out quite easily and the ending would have been the same.
Still this was what a thriller should be - something you almost can’t put down - just 1 more chapter!!

The story was very addictive and i could not put the book down throughout. But the plot to me was kind of childish and unrealistic. Overall it is a very tense and fast paced book and the style of writing is also good. But the basic plot seemed far too unrealistic for me to find it relatable.

I can't decide if I loved or hated this book. It was anxiety inducing and intense.
