Sometimes life is a game.
There's nothing out-of-the-ordinary about James Callahan. He's just your average, everyday college student. But when James finds a mysterious scroll on the desk of one of his professors, his life quickly becomes anything but ordinary.
After a series of strange events, James learns that he's the only one who can defeat Carter Livingston, a powerful gang leader responsible for robbing banks all over the city. With the help of a few beautiful women he befriends, James sets out to put an end to Carter's reign of terror once and for all.
But does he have what it takes to defeat Carter and his gang?

The action is fairly straightforward, balanced between James (our hero) having as much sex with as many women as is humanly possible (or probably more than is humanly possible) and James getting into dangerous situations in his need to keep impressing the women as a hero. There wasn’t a lot of depth here, but I think that might have been on purpose. If the storyline had been much more complex, James probably didn’t have the goods to resolve it. Still, watching him stumble through his virtual environment, figure out he’s in a game, and decide to play (in many senses of the word) was entertaining.
Michaels had the good sense not to end the story when James defeated the big bad, but instead brought James back to the real world where he had to interact with people he knew in the game and think about what he wanted from his life. There’s actually room for a sequel here as the player who was the big bad is clearly very angry that an “ordinary” guy like James managed to defeat him. It’s also nice to see James using his experience to change his life.
I received this book from Free Audiobook Codes in exchange for an honest review.

The story is light hearted. Something not at all serious. Extremely predictable. But... with that, it can be entertaining. I listen to most books with little to no expectation, unless it's by certain authors (Brandon Sanderson). Then I have extremely high expectations.
This book has a target audience. I am not that audience in many ways. It's a bit too far into the constant sexualization. For the record, I'm fine with a balanced approach, sex included. But many years ago, I was the target audience, and can appreciate the book on behalf of that audience.
This story doesn't take itself seriously, and that's where it's strong point is. I need a less than serious read on occasion. I feel we all do, especially now. Just don't go in expecting to be heavily invested or you'll be disappointed.
Lighthearted, a bit predictable, but fun

And just to make it just that tiniest bit more excruciating, the narrator sounds like the stereotypical "dirty old man". His voice is so far from what you would expect for a young, college student that I can't understand how he was chosen. He also seems to be completely unable to capture any nuances in the female voices. Frequently, one of the female leads would say something and then the narration would conclude with "... she said in a sexy voice", and I would burst out laughing.
Infantile, with terrible narration.
