by Denis Markell
Let me start off by saying thank you to Delacorte Books for Young Readers and Netgalley for providing with a e-ARC and a pleasurable reading experience.
To be completely honest the only reason that this book shouted at me was because it had a comparison to “Ready Player One” on its Netgalley description. I’m not into these types of books at all but decided why not if I really enjoyed Ready Player One, I should enjoy Click Here To Start just as much, but it wasn’t the case.
The book starts off straight away with a boom, the main character’s great-uncle is at the hospital soon to be dead. Right off the bat we are introduced to this whole mystery of what this weird message that his great-uncle gave him means.
From then on, the story will have a bunch of unexpected twist and turns and most importantly, the puzzles. The puzzles that he needs to solve if he ever wants to understand what his great-uncle was trying to tell him.
I personally didn’t have much fun as I was expecting while reading this book, I though it would be something similar to Ready Player One and ended up quite disappointed. The whole world wasn’t as developed as much as I wanted and that left me sad, I really wanted to enjoy some more children’s fantasy.
Although I did like the trio of friends aspect of it, I couldn’t connect with any of these three main characters. I found that the story was going by too fast to build a deep connection to these kids. Fast-paced usually is something I love but it this case I wish it was taken easier.
A story about family and how it is important. It shows that something as simple as a videogame can reinforce relationships. It was a definitely a good experience and I’m glad that I tried to branch out into the genres that I never read but you won’t see me coming back to them so soon, I just need to stay with my YA contemporary. I rated this book 3 out of 5 stars.
Once again, thank you Delacorte Books for Young Readers and Netgalley for providing with a e-ARC and thank YOU for reading this review.
