The God Game by Danny Tobey
4.0
I enjoyed this book, though it’s not something I would normally read. I found the whole morality code super interesting. What would you do to help yourself/your cause and no one would know-except God?
I admit that I didn’t know exactly some of the things that Charlie and his four friends-Peter, Alex, Kenny and Vanhi (AKA The Vindicators) were doing, coding, or talking about, but it didn’t deter my interest in the story.
Charlie and his friends receive an invite to The G.O.D. Game on their computers. They soon learn that “God” will help them and make all their dreams come true, but they have to do something in return. Each friend has excellent stories as to what their needs were in playing the game. The short chapters definitely helped move this story along to its climax.
The author did a great job on focusing on the pressures teens are facing today: drugs, alcohol, sexuality, peer pressure, social acceptance, college pressure, and even family pressure.
Four stars to this exciting, unique thriller.
