“You really love her, don’t you?”
Love is too small a word for what I feel. How do I explain that before Kat, nothing was real?…
“Yes,” I tell Busara. “I love her. Kat’s my whole world.”
The company says Otherworld is amazing — like nothing you’ve ever seen before. They say it’s addictive — that you’ll want to stay forever. They promise Otherworld will make all your dreams come true.
Simon thought Otherworld was a game. Turns out he knew nothing. Otherworld is the next phase of reality. It’s everything you’ve ever wanted.
And it’s about to change humanity forever.
Welcome to the Otherworld. No one could have seen it coming.
| The first quarter of this book is pretty dry. But the rest (and especially the parts where Simon is in Otherworld) is pretty darn good. I found that it was almost like I had a VR set on when I was reading parts. Segel and Miller do a great job of creating a world for their readers to really be in. I really did not like Simon’s personality at first, I thought the authors were trying too hard with him in the beginning and I didn’t connect with him. This caused me to not be interested in his overall mission throughout a good portion of the book. They did redeem him towards the end, but I had a hard time getting over my first impression of him. It was a quick read and there was points where I truly did not want to put it down. I think teen boys will eat this novel up and I will read the second one in Fall 2018. |
