The Eye of Minds is a really good book and it’s one of my favourite series. There is a variety of different parts of the novel that are very interesting. The Black and Blue club is the part where the KillSims are introduced, this part shows what happens if bite by one as written when Ronkia died. Another part that is interesting is when Michael and his friends are on the clock and are given a riddle by a old lady to advance forward. The clock started to crumble and soon enough they finally solved it ! As you get closer to the end of the novel one by one Michael's friends virtual selves die and he is the only one that survived. The author put quite a few twist into the story to keep it intriguing and the detail he puts into the text is absolutely amazing. Overall I would give this novel a 5 star rating and I would definitely read the entire Mortality Doctrine series! @Bookreader14 of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library Eye of minds is a thrilling first book in the mortality doctrine trilogy. Very far in the future, the world has gone to virtual reality in a way like no other. Now you can lay down in a “coffin” and be completely immersed in a virtual world. It's a worldwide phenomenon, and Michael and his friends are some of the best. When a new and extremely powerful cyber-terrorist is attacking their technology, who's better to stop him but teens who live and breathe gaming? This book shows an innovative twist on something just gaining popularity today. It is well written, action-packed, and full of surprises you might not be able to see coming. I really enjoyed this book, and I would recommend it, and the entire series to anyone who likes dystopian worlds and other books such as the Maze Runner series. - @tacoboutbooks of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board ‘Eye of Minds’ begins with the main character, Michael, going into virtual reality that’s become prevalent throughout the entire world. However, unlike most, Michael is a hacker, sifting through the code of the world to get free items or access to restricted areas. However, because of his hacking skills, he’s recruited by a government organization to fight a cyber terrorist named Kaine, and his ‘Mortality Doctrine’ which pretty much says it all. The book is one of the best of it’s ilk, and after the ending of the book, the cliffhanger leaves you needing to know what happens next. The writing’s not the best I’ve ever seen, but it’s still pretty good, finding the normal happy median between fast paced and detail oriented. The characters themselves are interesting, and the seeming irrelevant background characters often come into play later in the book, something that’s pretty unique to this book, however, the other main characters play a fairly small role in the book unlike the main character. Despite it’s popularity and interest it adds to a book, something this book had that most(that I’ve read) don’t is a plot twist. The twist at the ending of the books hits you like a brick, and leaves you desiring more. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys science fiction or action books. 4.5/5. @Xeno of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board
