The Eye of Minds by James DashnerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
In typical James Dashner fashion this book takes off at a gallop and never slows down. In fact this would be my complaint with the book, there is no situation where the reader can "catch his breath" a little and at least hope things will be okay. In this way it reminded me a lot of Dashner's Kill Order. But, I doubt that many middle schoolers would have this complaint. The story is geared for middle school or high school age group with the main character being an ultimate gamer in this future world where gaming is more a part of life than the real world. Michael enters the "coffin" everyday to join his friends in the VirtNet. He and his friends are great at making and hacking code, so they are able to move through games with ease. This is true until they forced by VirtNet Security to hunt down Kaine, who is taking over the Virtual World and destroying people in and out of the VirtNet. Again the action speeds along from one harrowing situation to another. I doubt many of our middle school or high school gamers will be able to put it down.
