The God Game by Danny Tobey
3.0
Phew, The God Game was a wild ride.
I fluctuated a lot during this book between loving it and hating it, hence the middle of the road didn’t love it nor hate it three star rating.
The God Game centers around a group of high school kids, coders, who get sucked into a virtual reality game that starts off innocent but turns dangerous and deadly.
The concept of this book was fabulous and I loved the virtual reality setting and the computer’s mind-blowing twists and tricks. It fascinated me and I had to keep turning pages to see what happened next. It’s what I loved about this book!
What I didn’t love? The characters. I didn’t like any of them. I’m not sure why, I can’t say I can pinpoint an exact reason, but I just could not relate to a single one of them. This book was told from multiple perspectives, so there was a lot of jumping around, but that’s not what hindered my ability to connect with anyone.
Overall this book was a good read. While frustrating at parts and making me hate high school drama all over again even though I’m in my adult life, this book was captivating and dangerously alluring.
TW: Murder, Mind Control, Suicide, Bullying, Mental and Physical Abuse, Loss of a Loved One, Infidelity, Satanic Practices (loosely tied).
