Reader’s Review

By the author of Mazerunner, this is a fast paced technical novel that takes place mostly in a virtual reality game, and asks readers to think about the fine line between a virtual reality and an actual one. Lots of plot twists and gaming references will appeal to older kids who are familiar with the gaming world. While there is a fair amount of violence, it occurs mostly in the gaming world.

To look out for

  • Islamic Values: Characters prefer to live in the gaming world as opposed to the real world
  • Language: No swearing, but use of words such as ‘crap’, ‘damn’, ‘hell’, as well as expressions such as the ‘situation sucked’ and ‘pissed off’
  • Violence: Hand to hand combat, graphic scenes of war (although virtual, not in reality), a woman commits suicide, characters are attacked by monsters
  • Romance: some flirting between characters
