OtherEarth

Last Reality, Book 2

De: Jason Segel, Kirsten Miller

Narrado por: Jason Segel

Return to the series BuzzFeed compared to Ready Player One in the second book in a new fast-paced trilogy from New York Times best-selling authors Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller that's perfect for fans of HBO's Westworld.

Simon would have done anything to save his best friend after a mysterious accident almost killed her - including follow her into a virtual world. And what he and Kat discovered there was more terrifying than they could have ever imagined. Unwitting hospital patients are being forced to test a device that lets VR be experienced with all five senses. The technology is so advanced that it's deadly.

Now the world's biggest tech corporation is hunting Simon and Kat while war rages in Otherworld, the virtual world it created. Determined to destroy the Company, Simon and Kat must join forces with a hacker, a gangster, and a digital entity. But as they battle to save two worlds, they uncover an all-new threat to our world: the Company's latest creation, an augmented-reality game called OtherEarth. Not only does OtherEarth kill, it has the power to erase the line between what's real and what's fantasy.

A bit all over the place

Good continuation of the first book but tried to go in way too many directions, ended up not closing any threads but opening a lot of new ones. Will have to read the third book to see if they all come together.

confused

I don't quite understand the end, but still good. interesting story! I'll be waiting for next book.

This is a must read!

If you are a fan of ‘Sword Art Online’ or ‘Ready Player One’, then this one with most definitely tickle your fancy! I’m in my late 20s and the characters are high school age so there is the teeny-bopper love romance & school/parent conflict of course but overall the storyline, characters, voice narrator & overall book was a great adventure. Being a huge Jason Segel fan was what initially hooked me, the getting stuck in a video game is what kept me tied.

Soo all I have to say now is, when will we get a movie/show series? Haha

Amazing!!

Jason Segel….. I enough said!!! Story is wonderful, narration makes it even better. I hope he keeps on writing!

Is the third book out yet?

This series is fantastic for every age - forget the YA distinction! I love when authors read their own books because it truly transports you to the world they've created. Jason Segel definitely did not disappoint. The worst part was when it ended because I want more!

Escape Reality For A Short While...

Jason Segel voices this like the Pro he is. I've only just now been introduced to the talents of one, Kirsten Miller. Together they make a magical reality within a magical reality that makes you question at times our own reality.
If you like virtual reality stories, games, or Jason Segel; YOU WILL LOVED THIS STORY.

what

I said what so many times at the end of this book. now I have to read the next one cause what?

what is real?

this sequel will have you straddling the line between reality and virtual. you will be questioning everything while looking for answers.

But is it...real?!

That ending though! OMG!

I seriously had this downloaded and ready to go before I finished Otherworld. I knew this was a book I'd need and I didn't waste any time queuing it up.

That being said I am so freaking in love with this world. Or earth. Or Otherworld...earth? I have no idea. I am just completely consumed, I do know that. I would say it's a world I'd want to visit, but no. No I do not want to live in this virtual reality world where you don't know what's real and what's not.

Seriously. Is it happening? Is it real? What is going on?

I didn't feel like this the entire time, mind you. I think that's important. I was going along, thinking Simon was gonna save Otherworld and come out a winner. But by the time the ending jumped out and attacked me, I wasn't sure which way was up.
I didn't know what was real.
I didn't know what was virtual.

I need book three right now.
I know I can read it, but I really want Jason Segel to read it to me. So, I'm impatiently waiting for Feb 18 when that audio hits my phone.

the ending

didn't care for ending, still confused at what happened especially since I was so invested with both books and the characters.
