Take a Trip Through the Game

The Eye of Minds - James Dashner

This one has similar elements to his Maze Runner series (a great series), no existent parents, teens who are smarter than the adults and a world that is on the brink of death, and a computer based world. Where it changes is that this one takes place in a virtual world, mostly. It's perfect for the gammer who breaks away long enough to read. I loved it, the mystery and the content twists and me guessing wrong all through the book. 
I thought I knew the answer.I thought I saw the pattern in the game. No, I was blindsided, and holy nightmare twist ending ! I loved it, never expected it and can't wait for book 2
