Game of Lives (the Mortality Doctrine, Book Three)
Game of Lives (the Mortality Doctrine, Book Three) | James Dashner
From James Dashner, author of the #1 "New York Times" bestselling Maze Runner series, comes "The Game of Lives, "the final book in the Mortality Doctrine series, an edge-of-your-seat cyber-adventure trilogy that includes "The Eye of Minds" and "The Rule of Thoughts." Michael used to live to game, but the games he was playing have become all too real. Only weeks ago, sinking into the Sleep was fun. The VirtNet combined the most cutting-edge technology and the most sophisticated gaming for a full mind-body experience. And it was Michael s passion. But now every time Michael sinks, he risks his life. The games are over. The VirtNet has become a world of deadly consequences, and Kaine grows stronger by the day. The Mortality Doctrine Kaine s master plan has nearly been realized, and little by little the line separating the virtual from the real is blurring. If Kaine succeeds, it will mean worldwide cyber domination. And it looks like Michael and his friends are the only ones who can put the monster back in the box "if "Michael can figure out who his friends really are. And look for "The Maze Runner" movie and its sequel, "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials," from Twentieth Century Fox! Praise for the Mortality Doctrine Series Dashner takes full advantage of the"Matrix"-esque potential for asking what is real. io9.com Set in a world taken over by virtual reality gaming, the series perfectly capture[s] Dashner s hallmarks for inventiveness, teen dialogue and an ability to add twists and turns like no other author. MTV.com A brilliant, visceral, gamified mash-up of "The Matrix" and "Inception," guaranteed to thrill even the non-gaming crowd. "Christian Science Monitor""

I read the whole series so you don‘t have to. It is kinda-just-okay from start to finish. I don‘t hate it, but I‘m sure you have something more compelling to read.

rockpools Ha! Thank you. 6y

vividandromeda Yeah, I probably won't bother with the rest of the series, since the first one just.. didn't do anything for me 6y

4/5
Series rating: 4.5/5
Solid ending to the series. After the way The Maze Runner series ended I was worried to see how this one would end but other than it being a bit technical it was a much better ending than I expected.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Dashner writes next!

The end of the series and I thought that it just ended how you would expect it to end. There wasn't anything spectacular about it and it didn't leave me with a satisfaction. I'm not sure why I continued with the series to begin with, but it was ok.

So twisted right now I had to put this down. Not sure how this is going to end, but I definitely need a break from all the head spinning. 😬
