This book is AWESOME
It's such an intriguing story. It's creepy, realistic, interesting and so so so wonderful.
The game can really freak you out, but at the same time it's so appealing because "it knows things".
It kept me hooked right from the beginning to its very end.
The action builds up gradually, and the game starts spilling over and intertwining with real life in a very scary but also very intriguing manner. It exerts strong control over the gamers while leaving them with an illusion of free choice. And in the end, everything ties together so beautifully.
5/5 stars
Would recommend for absolutely EVERYONE, gamers and non-gamers alike. ( )

Woah. Unendlich viel besser als Ready Player One oder Epic. Richtig richtig gute und gruselige Fassung eines KI-gesteuerten RPGs, das Auswirkungen auf die echte Welt hat. Hnnng. ( )

Es una novela que empieza con el protagonista, Nick, que en su instituto observa cómo sus compañeros, a quienes tanto conoce, cambiar de conducta y a comportarse en forma rara, y todo por un cd que circula entre ellos. Cuando ese disco por fin llega a las manos de Nick, descubre que lo que tiene a todos locos es un videojuego muy peculiar, que no sólo manda a hacer encargos y misiones dentro del juego, sino también en la vida real... Haciendo que todo se vuelva un tanto espeluznante.
Realmente es un libro que atrapa desde el principio hasta el final, y eso que yo no soy muy fan de los videojuegos, sin embargo, me captó el interés, sin decaer en ningún momento. Sin dudas que para el lector que sí juega a los videojuegos, le va a encantar.
Involucra de tal manera al que lo lee, que dan ganas de jugarlo y hasta se entiende la conducta extraña que empiezan a tener todos los que se involucraron con ese juego. Creo que es evidente que este entretenimiento no lleva a nada bueno, y eso es lo que mantiene en vilo a lo largo de esta novela.
El final es el adecuado dada la trama, por lo que de mi parte no hay críticas negativas para Erebos. ( )
