The God Game by Danny Tobey
3.0
I'm a big fan of scifi fantasy when it comes to stories such as Ready Player One, Warcross and Otherworld. The God Game is a similar concept, only this game is a secret.
The Vindicators are a group of teens who stumble across an augmented reality game played via phone, computer or tech glasses named 'Aziteks'. They can earn goldz for good deeds in exchange for various life benefits but they earn blaxx for bad deeds resulting in perilous events.
Sounds simple, except only God can decide what constitutes good and bad. And God must be obeyed...
The characters amount to the usual stereotypes I've come to expect in groups of students. I don't often fault this as they are true of my own life experience, however they are a little predictable. Each have their own woes and obstacles to overcome, some more important than others.
I found The God Game to be more plot driven as the time period covered didn't demand much character development.
The story was a fun ride. Reading it was much like playing the game myself and with so many questions, (What is in the packages? Who created the game?) I had to keep turning the pages! The stakes ramp up faster and faster as we reach the final showdown against 'God'.
