Anderson, John David,
Insert Coin to Continue. Pgs.
328. Simon and Schuster, 2016. $16.99. Language: G, Mature Content: G, Violence: G
When Bryan Biggins defeats the secret Demon King level of
his favorite game, he wakes up the next morning to find his life has turned
into a video game. He can see his HP, XP, and see the same information on
everyone around him. As he completes the quests the game gives him, he either
fails them and has to insert a coin or he levels up. He knows he will come up
against a final boss, like any good video game. Will he be up to the task? What
happens if he runs out of coins to feed the video game? Who will be the boss he
has to defeat?
This book is action-packed, humorous, and engaging. The plot
is complex and pulls the reader into the story. The characters are fun to read
about and add a lot of depth to the story. Fans of video game-based books like
Julia Durango’s The Leveller and James
Dashner’s Eye of Minds will enjoy
reading this book.
