Erebos

4.0 AVERAGE


Wow. I must have read this book for the first time shortly after it came out, in 2010 or 2011. I didn’t expect to like it that much now because back then I gave most of the books I read 5 stars.
But wow, it was good! The book has you hooked right from the beginning. And I’m saying that as someone who is not into playing video games at all. But this book is something else. I can highly recommend it!!
Ready for Erebos 2!

I had to read this book for school and I never expected to like it this much. A very underrated book in my opnion.

Another one of those "I was barely a teen so it blew my mind" type of books, although I believe it still holds up.

I enjoyed this book a lot and often times didn't really want to put it away. I liked the story and mystery of the whole thing but the romance between Emily and Nick was a little to fast for my taste (and not really that necessary). Also Nick is kind of a bully sometimes and he never really gets called out on it. That's my only criticism tho
Very good book, I recommend everybody to read it :)


Wederom een boek dat ik onder normale omstandigheden nooit zou uitgepikt hebben. Noch titel, cover of inhoud sprak me aan. Maar de combi "aangeraden door leesvriendin" en een artikel over een nieuwe hype/gevaar blue whale, toch gelezen.

Het hele game gebeuren is mij vreemd en de drang om "erbij te horen" als kind, puber en nu als volwassene beperkte zich tot "geaccepteerd" te worden.
Dit verhaal maakt echter heel duidelijk hoe groot de peer-pressure onder jongeren is/kan zijn en tot wat sommigen in staat zijn te doen om erbij te horen of "aanzien te verwerven. Hoe makkelijk het kan zijn om jongeren die minder zelfzeker zijn, niet sterk in hun schoenen staan of heel geïsoleerd zijn psychologisch kunnen gemanipuleerd worden.
Het spel "Erebos" zelf is misschien nog wat futuristisch en vergezocht, maar het gegeven van "groepen" die elkaar opdrachten geven is al veel dichterbij dan we (of ik althans) ons realiseren.

Kortom: dit boek heeft me stof tot nadenken gegeven.

This book was definitely one of the best books I have ever read. It hooked me on right from the first page. Sure it was a bit lengthy and slow, but it was definitely worth it toward the end where everything started getting revealed. Recommend this book to everyone!
