From the cover:
"The company says Otherworld is amazing—like nothing you’ve ever seen before. They say it’s addictive—that you’ll want to stay forever. They promise Otherworld will make all your dreams come true.
Simon thought Otherworld was a game. Turns out he knew nothing. Otherworld is the next phase of reality. It’s everything you’ve ever wanted.
And it’s about to change humanity forever.
Welcome to the Otherworld. No one could have seen it coming."
I found this book...lacking. There was no depth to anything. Not the characters, not the world they lived in, frankly not even to Otherworld. I finished it because I hate not finishing books, but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...it was boring and predictable. It seemed like we were supposed to empathize with the main character, but I found him to be kind of an unbearable dick. We jumped right into Otherworld without any story development or buildup, so from the beginning it was like meh...what's the point of all this? Even the conflict was so overblown and ridiculous that it was hard to care about. I love Jason Segel, and I really wanted to like this, but...it's a no-go for me.
