danielleglewwe 's review for:
The God Game
by Danny Tobey
Could I put this book down? No. Overall, did I really enjoy it? Yes. It was quick paced (did NOT feel like 500 pages), to the point, and a fun mystery to read. Violent, mysterious, and downright creepy at times. It fit the description well.
This is the second book I had to stay up to finish, even though I regret it the next morning :)
However, there were a few things that knocked it down for me. One- the coding language and plotline was confusing to follow. There's a scene near the end that takes place in a car that I think I had to read like 2 or 3x to try and fully understand what was happening. There comes a point where suspending my disbelief is a little much. Which ties into my second reason: i understand that it's the God Game, and the idea is that God is omnipotent and omniscient, but everything seemed to work out too easily for the bad guys. However which technology being everywhere at all times, who knows.
Good moral questions throughout. interesting to think about how we act when we people are,or aren't, watching.
