Publisher's Summary

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?

Great story

This book made me think about life. It has a lot christin references what makes it better. I so glad I found it by random and will listen to rest of them.

Loved the start but not the direction

Loved the book at first. It had an interesting premise but it tacked from sci-fi to a religious Christian-esque / Tony Robbins fantasy.

A familiar idea told in an okay way

I tried to listen to this book and made it a little more than halfway, but it's a little too big on certain things, in the name of suspense. However, it is vague for much too long, making it incredibly difficult to complete.

entertaining but scientifically not great

Concepts not explained well story is amazing but it's a turn your brain off thing. if you remember all your past lives in a game apparently the children that you had that died all the drama and you get rich if more people view your life. silly concept but it is entertaining

Very good thought provoking read

The story world builds into ours and our conspiracy theories very well. The way it provides solid backing to the story by making good explainations for things that tie into our conspiracy theories makes the book souch better.

I definitely recommend this book and think this would also be a good book for a teacher have in a class.

I definitely haven't read anything like this before.

Confuse

This was a great story line but the rules kept changing and it did not flow well as an audible. Although, the reader was very good at trying to change up the voices. This just was t for me

Give this series a chance

I am currently on book 4 in this series and it is really well done. Book 3 elevates the story and helps the first 2 make a lot more sense. It is by far one of if not the best works of fiction tackling the subject matter the series is based on. If you're an audible subscriber the first 3 books are under the plus section. So why not try it.
