The Minx line is pretty consistent, in that every book I've read has a pretty good idea and reasonably believable characters. I liked this one a little better than some of the others, but the story was more complicated (therefore a little harder to follow, but that could be the 36-hour break I took in the middle of reading it; I lost the flow of the narrative). Probably my favorite of the Minx books so far, though to be fair it's not on par with many of the non-Minx graphic novels I've read. I'm waffling between 3 and 4 stars, so say 3.5. ( )

Set in a not-so-distant future where virtual reality has become more real than reality. Telly spends most of her time in her online "lair," a virtual reality world where she has two friends. When she gets a suicide note from Kimmie66, she races too find her friend before it is too late. Unfortunately, she only knows her friends by their online screen names. She seeks the help of rule-breaking drifter, Coil, to find Kimmie66 and finds more than she bargained for. ( )

Fastforward into the future - where nearly everyone lives a part of their lives in virtual reality. A girl (kimmie66) leaves a suicide note to an online friend and that friend goes on to discover the true identity of her virtual reality friend and the truth behind why she still appears in the virtual worlds. ( )

For me the weakest of the Minx books so far. Call me old-fashioned but I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of the singularity. Mind you, I also read this in two chunks with two months' gap in the middle because I misplaced the book in all my LibraryThinging, so that may have contributed to me not being overly impressed. ( )

An interesting take on the status of virtual reality in the 23rd century, this is the story of a teen girl whose best friend commits suicide, but then gets caught in the digital world. ( )
