De: Daniel Schinhofen

Narrado por: Peter Berkrot

Seamus is facing life in prison without parole. While doing his time, he's given an option by the Department of Justice and the biggest virtual game maker around, Mindblown Entertainment. If he will help them test long-term immersion, he will get the chance to play the latest game from Mindblown - Alpha World. All he has to do is sign away his legal rights and sign an NDA.

He's the first gamer to be sentenced to life imprisonment in a virtual world. What could go wrong?

Great adult LitRPG

Worth getting an entertaining book love the adult take on the LitRPG. Keep it up.

Review

Here's how I rate

On narrator
5= good read speed, good pronunciation, appealing voice/voices.
4= an issue with one of the above
3= many issues
1-2 I couldn't finish because of his voice

Really liked the narrator

Story
5= good plot, keeps my attention, it doesn't ramble along, good character development
The rest follows a similar to narrator


Favorite part of the story
It's a decent concept
He pulled a lot of the mechanics from wow

Least favorite
Dialogue in places is sketchy
author referring to things he didn't know and didn't research
Didn't care for the protagonist
The end of the novel becomes s&m heavy
He pulled a lot of the mechanics from wow

50 shades of grey the litfanfiction

a little more adult then i thought it would be. if thTs what you're looking for then this great

Absolutely Amazing

I enjoyed this book immensely and recommend it especially to those who like LitRPG sagas.

Great premise, FYI a bit erotic last few chapters

Would you consider the audio edition of Gamer for Life to be better than the print version?

I prefer audio versus print. i'm dyslexic so audio books give me the opportunity to enjoy books without the frustrations of reading the print.

What other book might you compare Gamer for Life to and why?

The closest book would be "Way of the shaman" series by Vasily Mahanenko. Both share the premise of a VR prison. Both are in prison and have the opportunity to get out into the real game world.

Have you listened to any of Peter Berkrot’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I have not, he does a great job using different voices for each of the character. My only criticism would be that a lot of the voices seem to have a bit of an Irish tint.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and No, I listen to these on my way to and from work. Also before i go to bed. i usually get through these in a few days

Any additional comments?

The last few chapters of the book are a bit more descriptive in regards to sex. And what he does with the women in involved. With that said if they were to toned down a bit, I think it would be okay. If i were in prison for 5 years i too would want to play out some of my sexual tension. So to me it does not seem out of place. but like i said a bit to descriptive. if you go into this book know it, it should not be to bothersome.
