The God Game by Danny Tobey
4.0
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
While similar to Ready Player One, The God Game happens simultaneously between the online game and real life. After Peter and Charlie receive invites to the mysterious online game run by an intellegent AI that calls itself G.O.D. they bring their group of friends into the game as well. Based on a point system, doing good in real life earns Goldz, doing bad earns Blaxx. Too many Blaxx and you die. Challenged with seemingly harmless pranks, the team become more immersed in the game, but soon the challenges aren't so harmless and the team want out of the game. But only G.O.D. decides when the game is over.
I'm not a gamer, so I wasn't sure if I would like this book. I'm glad I gave it a try. Although the technical aspects of the coding left me a little lost, the story itself was exciting and different. I couldn't believe some of the tasks this so-called god was forcing them to do by blackmailing them. Thanks for inviting me to review this exciting book!
