I was in London while I was reading this book and I found I could barely put it down, even to enjoy the sights! It was gripping from start to finish.

It follows Simon, an 18 year old delinquent, as he explores the virtual reality game Otherworld. When I got the actual book it was even more intriguing I haven’t read a really good sci-fi book since The Rise And Fall Of D.O.D.O. and the premise for this one seemed pretty unique.
