Description In Favor Of Books Erebos (Erebos #1)
Erebos ist ein Computerspiel, das an einer Londoner Schule als Raubkopie von Schüler zu Schüler herumgereicht wird; wer es einmal spielt, wird "süchtig" danach.Die Spielregeln sind rigide: Jeder hat nur eine Chance, Erebos zu spielen; wer stirbt, fliegt raus und kann nicht wieder zurück ins Spiel; Spieler dürfen mit niemandem darüber reden und müssen immer allein sein, wenn sie spielen, und auch wer gegen diese Spielregeln verstößt, fliegt ohne die Chance auf Rückkehr in die virtuelle Welt von Erebos.
Fortgeschrittenen Spielern stellt das Erebos Aufgaben, und die werden nicht in der virtuellen, sondern in der tatsächlichen Realität erledigt, und so verschwimmen die Fiktion des Spiels und die Realität mit zunehmender "Verweildauer" im Spiel.
Nick ist einer der Schüler an der Londoner Schule; auch er gerät in die virtuelle Welt von Erebos, und auch er wird süchtig danach, aber dann befiehlt ihm das Spiel einen sehr realen Mord...

epicVerdict:Not quite as good as Ready Player One.Better than Warcross, but less flashy.Different from both.This is going to be a bit difficult to review because so much of what Id want to say and comment on would be spoilers. And this really is a book you want to enter into without knowing much, except what youre told at the beginning.Nicks classmates are secretively passing around a CD person to person, and no one who has received one will tell others what it is. So of course those that havent
Nick took advantage of his friend's change of mood and asked one last question. "Has the game ever actually crashed on you?"Now Colin laughed. "Crashed? No. But I know what you mean. ... Sometimes ... it just doesn't want to work. It waits. It tests you. Know what, Nick? Sometimes I think it's alive." Erebos is a frightening sci-fi thriller about a highly-addicting game that knows too much. Teenagers start swapping pirated copies of the game around school, which is how it falls into the hands
2 1/2 starsA game you cant buy. A game that talks to you. A game that watches you, that rewards you, threatens you, gives you tasks.'Sometimes I think its aliveTo anyone whos ever been a MMPORG addict/widow(er) I think this book will be particularly frightening. And to everyone else, whos sitting there right now, sayingreally? Could a game really consume your life like that? I invite you to visit this website, where level 85 World of Warcraft characters are frequently sold for upwards of $1,000.
My Thoughts: I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It was very engaging and I read through it during the course of a morning. The characters are quite realistic and the game was described in such detail that it almost made me want to play it, despite everything especially despite the fact that I dont like computer games! It definitely showed the dangers of addiction to video games, too, and how people can take such things way too seriously. I would recommend this to pretty much
TL;DR: Read this book now. Please.One of the best books I read this year. I didn't expect to love it so much, since I don't normally go for video game centred books.Its about a high school guy who starts getting curious when a mysterious CD is being secretly passed around at school. Ever since the CD started going around, people have been acting strange. When he finally gets passed a copy, he finds out its a computer game unlike any other. Its like its alive and its watching you. Its addicting,
I enjoyed this A LOT!Apparently I just really like game settings on books.I recommend this if you liked Warcross or Ready Player One.
