A win for readers
My younger brother picked this one out from the school library--I think he was simply drawn to the cover's promise of an action-packed book about video games. I have been helping him with some school things, and said that I would read the book aloud to him. The result was that we both got to enjoy an excellent book by Trent Reedy.Gamer Army caters nicely to its intended audience of young readers--language, violence, sexual content, etc. is all kept at a very safe level for young readers. There's nothing in here that I found objectionable for even the youngest bookworm. That being said, the book still delivered strong and dynamic characters, surprising twists, solid action, and a satisfying conclusion.I will admit that, as someone who has read some of the more popular sci-fi stories, there were some elements of the story I was able to predict long before they occurred. The redeeming aspect in this regard is that there were surprises within surprises, so that although I may have correctly guessed at some aspects, others came as welcome surprises.The book earned a solid 5 stars from my younger brother, and I must concur.

futuristic sci-fi thriller was full of unexpected twists and turns
This futuristic sci-fi thriller was full of unexpected twists and turns. This society partially revolves around new technology that has been developed to completely change not only the gaming world but also many other elements of people’s lives. These upgrades have allowed Rogan Webber to become extremely good at VR gaming. Rogan’s skills have caught the attention a very important figure in both the real and the virtual worlds, William J. Culum, the inventor of the technology that allows for the virtual world to exist. Culum asks Rogan to compete in a contest in Rogan’s favorite game, Laser Viper. This contest seems like a great experience at the onset, but as it goes on the events occurring become more and more suspicious and worrying to Rogan and his competitors. This book’s intense range of action and suspense make this book a great pick for fans of sci-fi, and fantasy novels. This novel was very good, and I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys fiction books in general.Review by Bolden B, age 16, Central Pennsylvania Mensa

This story has action and heart
I am not exactly the target audience for this book, but once I figured out what IRL meant, the story pulled me in. While the main purpose of this book was a fun adventure with video gaming, I found myself connecting with the character and cheering for him to find connection in his life. This is a timely book that touches on something I think every family struggles with, finding quality time together with all of the distractions in the world. I loved the story and Trent Reedy did a great job of creating unique characters that had their own personalities and strengths. It was the development of friendship that gave the characters the power to overcome the huge obstacles they faced. A great book for kids that is exciting and fun to read!
