"You can not help but continue reading to find out why David suffers so much, initally coming across as a cynical bastard, the book takes you on one man's journey, all the while questioning yourself, your beliefs and your own journey."- Alana (Amazon reviewer)* * *Travel with David as he re-enters employment after a year of video-game exile and watch as he humorously confronts the crossover between real life and gaming obsession; Experience his sorrow, frustration, and confusion as he attempts to understand a world that had once loved him, only to suddenly reject him; Discover the characters he meets and the lives they lead as he learns to accept the consequences of his past and how it shapes his individuality now.* * *"Once I was hooked, it was a read I just wanted to get back to.
The author describes life in a community that defines itself by its religious or atheist stance and where everyone is always a bit under some sort of social scrutiny. The characters have depth and we follow them with interest as they make us reflect on various aspects of life in a Kiwi town. For a first novel, Stubbs shows great skills. On the whole, the novel is well written: it is a pleasure to read.- M (Amazon-fr reviewer)"I strongly recommend this book."- SPORK (Amazon reviewer)
