I had this book recommended to me by a colleague and since it was free, i thought I'd give it a go. I wasn't expecting great things but instead I was pleasantly surprised! at times the pace was a bit meandering bit generally an interesting plot and characters!

- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

When I read the summary, I thought this could either be a bad version of Tron or a book that blossoms into its own. Luckily this was the latter. The plot was good; it was slow in a few places, but overall fairly fast. The only real drawback I saw was that the characters were not very well developed. Maybe it's the age difference between myself and the characters or that it's the first book in the series. Either way, I have the remaining four books so I intend to find out.

I loved this book.
It had Celtic/Welsh words in it a little bit which I liked because begin welsh i could understand what it meant before the book told you the translations.
Considering this book was free it was great and I really think the author should at least make some money from a job well done and start charging for it.
there wasn't really much I disliked about this book

Two separate kids with far from ideal home lives get sucked into a video game that could have consequences for the real world.
I may not be the target audience for this book. The "hardships" the two main characters have in the real world are an overbearing step-father (who also seems to be rich, and they say the character lives in a mansion), and the other just has lots of sisters who are vain and self centred.
The story is a bit slow to get going as they realise what has happened and find a few companions along the way, but picks up in the second half.
