Verdict:Not quite as good as "Ready Player One".Better than "Warcross", but not as flashy.Different from both. Categories: Sci-Fi Thriller, MMO Fiction, LitRPG, Virtual Reality, Young Adult.This is going to be a bit difficult to review because so much of what I’d want to say and comment on would b...
As someone who has wasted fruitfully spent countless hours and weekends gaming or doing things related to gaming (aka crying about how I don’t have pc Skyrim or Guild Wars 2), this book was something that I obviously had to read.

NOTE: I received a publisher’s ARC of Erebos via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.One Sentence Summary: Erebos has a cool central idea, but it’s weighed down by numerous instances of poor execution.London high school student and All-Around Average Guy Nick Dunmore doesn’t really notice tha...

A very fun read. I would definitely recommend this book to those teens I know who love video games and m maybe don't read very much.
As a gamer the concept of a game that ask you carry out tasks in the real world is rather intriguing and was essentially the first thing that grabbed me about this book. It starts of fairly slowly as Nick attempts to get his hands on a mysterious package that is circulating through his school. When ...
Review originally posted here.It's kind of unfair to compare Erebos to Ready Player One, but that was what I assumed going in. The only thing the two books have in common, really, is that they both take place at least partially inside video games and that I enjoyed them both immensely. Nick Dunmor...
Reviewed at http://www.mandikayereads.com/archives/883This book is unlike any that I’ve read recently. It’s also pure genius. I used to be quite addicted to an online role-playing game so I understand the draw and the addiction all too well. Poznanski wrote both very convincingly. And the game… well...
