This book had so much potential that I think was lost in a morality lesson. The premise was fantastic and exciting, but the execution was borderline painful at times, lectures on the ethics of what Greenhouse was and wasn’t. There was not really a lot of action, which was something I was expecting and hoping for, especially when video games and hostage situations and ransoms are involved! It almost felt like the characters just flew around in planes or in the game and then stood around and had conversations. I think the book holds merit for maybe a philosophy course, but if you’re looking for an escape for a book, this is not the best fit for you.
