![]() He is funny and likeable, and I admire his unfaltering loyalty to his friends. Awesome right? For a lot of the book Tom is idealistic and stubborn to a fault, arrogant and thinks himself untouchable, which is understandable in a fourteen year old who is told he holds the future of his country in his hands. He grows several inches and his acne disappears, and can now download and processes information overnight. A few days and a brain implant later, Tom is introduced to a whole new world. ![]() His life seems to be going nowhere fast, until he is recruited, abruptly and a little bizarrely, to train to become a Combatant and use his gaming skills in WW3. ![]() I read the blurb for this book and was immediately interested, especially with that shiny foil cover (which I actually ruined while reading it because I was so into the story I had to take it with me everywhere I went!), but the idea of teens fighting a war caused issues for me and I was scared the book would just be about the ultimate dream of every teenaged boy - to get paid to play video games! However, I was pleasantly surprised at the plethora of issues Kincaid has managed to explore in her 400+ page novel.Tom Raines is a short, acne plagued boy with a passion and skill for VR video games. ![]()
