The Eye of Minds by James Dashner

A book review by Madeline Soucie


Book Cover

          
If you read and liked the Maze Runner or are reading it then I recommend you either put this book on your list or start reading it. By the same author, The Eye of Minds takes place in the future and the virtual gaming world -- the VirtNet -- is a huge part of human life.
   
Like everyone else, Michael is an avid gamer and spends most of his time on the VirtNet paying virtual games that feel real thanks to the stimulations and technology that it uses. He can do just about anything -- hang with friends, play fantasy worlds -- the possibilities are endless, especially if you're a hacker and can get around the rules like Michael and his friends.

   
Rules that are there for a reason, as Michael soon finds out when he is recruited by VirtNet Security. They want him on their side to catch a hacker who has figured out how to blur the line between reality and games and is using it to his advantage. 

Book 1 of the Mortality Doctrine series.


Find it in APL TEEN Fiction YA FIC Dashner, J.

  2. I found this to be a fun read, set in a world where if you have the right amount of money you can experience anything in virtual reality. While not a reality in our world today, I believe it isn't too farfetched and will be a reality before too much longer. I think that is what initially drew me to read the book in the first place. I found it to be well written and it grabbed me from the very start. Any hard core gamer that enjoys reading would love this book! I highly recommend it.
