There are some Ma...She's gonna get youuuuuuuu!<br /><br />There are some Mario references, but I don't remember any mushroom jumping.<br /><br />The gaming ones do have a lot of variety. It's cool because this one starts out as one sort of game and then switches to another.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-12957239853914212832013-02-15T13:37:26.656-05:002013-02-15T13:37:26.656-05:00Grab it free from Amazon while you can!Grab it free from Amazon while you can!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-38610294029769603462013-02-15T13:37:14.622-05:002013-02-15T13:37:14.622-05:00Awww, thanks!

Dude Mario and MarioKart are my teen years! >.< Do they get to jump on mushrooms? Please say yes!!<br /><br />I've read a few gaming dystopian plots like these but this one sounds really different from the others. The whole system sounds pretty well thought up and created. Too bad about the characters though sounds like it could have been epiv with more development in that area. Sounds pretty awesome for a self up regardless though!

There's a sort of Inception-like quality to it, in that there's no way to say where the game ends. Every aspect of your life can be peered into and affected by a hacker or coder.</i><br /><br />I love this analogy, because it really does describe Gamers well. I struggled with the characters as well, but mostly I had questions about the world - why has no one ever questioned what happens to the people who DON'T get into University? But, like you, I gave it a three for being fast and enjoyable nonetheless!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185081981237514590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-34140580823195584412013-02-13T16:08:12.299-05:002013-02-13T16:08:12.299-05:00I don't do many, and I generally check out rev...I don't do many, and I generally check out reviews fairly thoroughly before I accept any self-pubs, just because I already have so much to read.

I think Gamers, as you described it in your review, is something I would probably appreciate reading. I like face-paced dystopian. The gaming environment adds an interesting twist too. Very crafty. I'm glad you like the characters. I've been reading too many stories lately where the characters have been just "meh".
