Read the review on my blog Book Reviews and More and reviews of other books by Dustin Brady. Our family gives it top marks and highly recommends the whole series! It is a great read in an excellent conclusion to the series. And it ends with a surprising twist after finally meeting the real Final Boss and not just holograms of him. The characters after 4 stories is like visiting old friends. It is interesting seeing the mix of cutting-edge technology and how both kids and adults interact with it. The story draws you in and really keeps your attention. Can friendship survive when you are trying to do whatever it takes to win. And there might be a very high price to pay for their conflict. And soon the two are at odds with each other about how to proceed. They must learn and adapt in each new environment.
And soon the two are fighting their way through world after world. That is a lot to put on some young guys shoulders. The friends have been sucked back into a computer world, the Rubenverse, and it is truly a battle of life and death for all humans. In this one the video game elements have changed. This is a story about friendship, about video games, and about survival. Without having to wait for the next volume to release. That just meant we can read them all back to back. We were late to the game, in that the whole series has already been released before we started it. And there has been no indications that the series will expand beyond the five books, unlike Adam’s Hitchhiker Trilogy. This is the fifth and final installment in this series. And I have a feeling we might end up returning to this series soon and rereading it. It has left my son at a bit of a loss for what to read next. And now we have finished the whole serries. We picked up the eBook as soon as we were home, and my son devoured it. They read every night before bed and he was hooked after the first few chapters. We had picked up the first book in this series, Trapped in a Video Game, after my son started reading it with his cousins. My son read the 5 of them to me over a few months. And yet the books were great fun to read. There was also a volume that focused on retro style games and game play. These books were an interesting exploration of video games, fads, trends, and styles of play. And what a fitting title for a series of books about video games.
Dustin Brady has wrapped it up in this fifth and final book.
The end of the line! This story and series has run it’s course.
