This is one of the best books I have listened to in a while, and I listen to a lot of books. This had me rooting for the “bad guy”. This book can be compare to a lot of other books and various stories, but I am not going to do that. It is a great story about how a teenager comes to grip with some serious conflicts in his life using a VR game to workout his issues (hence catharsis). Really looking forward to listening to the next book.
