Description To Books Erebos (Erebos #1)
Erebos ist ein Computerspiel, das an einer Londoner Schule als Raubkopie von Schüler zu Schüler herumgereicht wird; wer es einmal spielt, wird "süchtig" danach. Die Spielregeln sind rigide: Jeder hat nur eine Chance, Erebos zu spielen; wer stirbt, fliegt raus und kann nicht wieder zurück ins Spiel; Spieler dürfen mit niemandem darüber reden und müssen immer allein sein, wenn sie spielen, und auch wer gegen diese Spielregeln verstößt, fliegt ohne die Chance auf Rückkehr in die virtuelle Welt von Erebos. Fortgeschrittenen Spielern stellt das Erebos Aufgaben, und die werden nicht in der virtuellen, sondern in der tatsächlichen Realität erledigt, und so verschwimmen die Fiktion des Spiels und die Realität mit zunehmender "Verweildauer" im Spiel. Nick ist einer der Schüler an der Londoner Schule; auch er gerät in die virtuelle Welt von Erebos, und auch er wird süchtig danach, aber dann befiehlt ihm das Spiel einen sehr realen Mord...Mention Books Conducive To Erebos (Erebos #1)

When my boyfriend told me to read it, because he when got this book he it was so good that he read it in a few days, my hopes were high. VERY high. Because he's not that interested in books, the only ones he read in passion were the Harry Potter books. But this book has totally measured up to my expectations. It wasn't a book, it was an adventure. It's easily written but still very good, so that it's fun to read it. I liked the characters and had a detailed picture of every single one of them in"Stay a While, and Listen" I was super impressed by this book. I thought I had found a treasure when I was reading the Feyland trilogy, but this was even better. I haven't had much luck finding books about gaming or virtual reality scenarios that don't follow a real-life game, like Diablo or World of Warcraft. I wonder if I'm looking in the wrong places or if this type of book is really that rare of a commodity.Erebos was filled with references to gaming, literary fancy and mythology. This was
I enjoyed this A LOT!Apparently I just really like game settings on books.I recommend this if you liked Warcross or Ready Player One.
TL;DR: Read this book now. Please.One of the best books I read this year. I didn't expect to love it so much, since I don't normally go for video game centred books.Its about a high school guy who starts getting curious when a mysterious CD is being secretly passed around at school. Ever since the CD started going around, people have been acting strange. When he finally gets passed a copy, he finds out its a computer game unlike any other. Its like its alive and its watching you. Its addicting,
4-1/2 stars. I really enjoyed this! I'll try to write a proper review later, but I can see why this was a bestseller in Europe. The book is just as addictive as the title game -- fast-paced, exciting, slightly creepy, and very suspenseful as MC Nick tries to both win the game and figure out what it's connection to the real world is. Definitely recommended!
When you take a look at the genres I normally read, this book doesnt necessarily fit in. I am not much of a gamer, and although I wouldnt say that the world of computer games doesnt interest me the slightest, its not necessarily a topic that makes me squeal with excitement. Yet, this book has won the "Deutsche Jugendliteraturpreis" in the category that is decided on by young adults themselves, and after it blinked at me so many times at my local bookstore, I was tempted.In the end, I am really
