The God Game
by Danny Tobey
You win and all your dreams come true, if you lose....you DIE.
I don't usually read Science Fiction or Fanstasy, its just not the genre that I am drawn too and enjoy. But! St. Martin's Press sent me this ARC in exchange for a unbiased review. So get your drink and your snack and get ready for an intense ride.
Charlie and his group of friends (The Vindicators) are the social outcast. They all experince coding and all have different views of religion and they each have their own dark secrets to protect.
Then they are thrust into playing THE GAME, which slowly takes over their whole lives. They can no longer tell what is realspace and what is gamespace. Choices in THE GAME has real life consequences that affect everyone around them.
Do you love your dad? Y/N
Depending on how you answer that question your dad could have his biggest dream come true or he could die, maybe even watch you die. Makes that a harder question to answer doesn't it? Add in the fact that your mother suffered the slow death of cancer and your dad left you to care for her in her final days. How would you answer?
These are just a few issues touched on in the god game.
This book reminded me so much of Ready Player One. I enjoyed the switching between realspace and gamespace and how the characters grew throughout the book.
Charlie was so lost after his mother died and was sruggling to come back from that but by the end of the book he had grew and rediscovered his self and his relationship with his friends and family.
Each of the characters are struggling with life and growing up. This book made me laugh it made me smile. It kept me gripped from the word go. Which I was so thankful for because it wasn't a book that I would buy for myself.
I will be recommending this book to all my gamer friends.
