4.0
The book is irregularly paced, and The changes between the video game world and reality are not transferred well. The characters don’t seem to have real depth, one character in particular seems to be a sociopath, but has no depth, perhaps a sociopath has no depth. The references will require a little more depth, and will prompt you to research as some of the concepts are difficult to “accept” within the story. Overall I like the premise of the story. This book is translated and there may be a “lost in translation” part to that which I can accept.
Graphic: Death, Hate crime, Forced institutionalization, and War
