A review by labraden
Deadly Pink by Vivian Vande Velde

2.0

At the beginning of Deadly Pink, the main character, Grace, is pulled out of her high school class by her mother and told that her sister, Emily, has purposely put herself into a virtual reality game and doesn't want to ever come back out. Grace is to go into the game and talk her sister into leaving the game to save her life. As interesting as this idea is, by the middle of the book, the story changes. Emily and Grace are fighting to escape the game by outsmarting dragons and sprites. As the story goes on, it becomes more and more unbelievable from Emily's dramatic change in personality to the ridiculous actions of characters both in and out of the game. It seemed as though the author had a great idea but didn't know where to go with it. Unfortunate since this story could have been so much better.
