This is Not a Game

                                                                 

This was the first gamer book I read also my first from the author. And it was okay. It wasn't a complicated book at all and though the story wasn't totally unpredictable I still enjoyed it. I liked the concept of all powerful control by program / company that was explored. It had a lot of the basic elements of a murder mystery entwined with the social network/online gamer aspects. 

This is a fun book that can be read in a day or two. I consider it one of those 'switching gears' books to read between your more serious books or epic fantasies. I think I read it in between the Game of Thrones saga.

Though it is not a book that I'll ever read twice nor one that comes to mind when I think of books to recommend to friends, I found it fun to read and thought it had some interesting plot twists. If I had to give it a grade, I'll give it a C+.
