About this listen

What if life as we know it was just a game?

What if instead of traditional schools, children learned by participating in a virtual reality simulation, one that allowed them to experience "life" from birth to death - multiple times?

What if one player, on his final play, could change the world forever?

The narrator is magical, with voices so convincing, there is no mistaking which character is speaking. Luke Daniels has a rare talent, I will definitely be looking out for more stories narrated by him.

Terry Schott is a genius! This is the first time I have experienced one of his works of art, but I'm definitely hooked! A big thank you to Shawn Inmon, the author, who encouraged his readers to give this series by Schott a go, I'm definitely not disappointed and can't wait to continue the series! I think I've found another favourite author to add to the very small list!

Absolute Gem!

I really loved how there was meaningful snippets of life advice interspersed throughout this great storyline. It wasn’t just meaningless entertainment and had a good blend of spirituality as well. It’s easy to get on board with the main characters and the plot is well developed.

I’d definitely recommend this for anyone who’s looking for a bit more of a thought provoking dystopian listen.

Excellent balance of dystopian sci-fi and spirituality

What is the point of this? I listened to this but I did not finish. Some random dude plays a VR game and plays until he dies. He comes out and is the richest person in the world. He has everything he could ever want. If you like a book with a character that does minimal things, this is the book for you but if you don't, then you SHOULD NOT buy this book. I am pissed that I wasted my time and money on this stupid book. I highly don't recommend this book to anyone who values their time and money.

Stupid

the writer forces his ideas down your throat. the characters are just a vehicle for his ideas. if you're looking for a journey in a magical realm with interesting comrades look elsewhere.

should be named simulation, games are fun.

could not get into this one.

far too much explaining for no good reason and a complicated world building that does not seem internally consistent.

not a fan.

starts with far too much exposition
