This book follows Henrik Pettersson, HP, after he finds a cell phone that invites him to play a dangerous, y...
The main problem with Game is the fact that HP neither acts nor sounds like his age. It is easy for readers to forget that HP is a 30-year-old man rather than the post-adolescent boy he pretends to be. Everything from his speech patterns, his physical appearance, his lack of ambition, and interests ...
