Killobyte Book

I really enjoyed this book. I thought that the total immersion game theme was fun and well done, a chance to put modern people in Medieval and other situations.

I didn't have any major problems with the plot or characters. I actually thought they were both very well-done. I would rate it higher except I think it may have become a bit dated in recent years, and it kind of threw me off at times.

Baal, the main female character, has diabetes, and is completely ostracized for it. Everyone is afraid of her and doesn't want to hang out with her because she has this disease they might catch. Maybe that's how it was in the early 90's, but I think people nowadays know better. At least, two of my friends' dads and one of my roommates have diabetes and I hardly ever even remember, let alone freak out about it. Since this was a major part of the storyline that I couldn't relate to, it grew a little old.

The computer/ virtual reality stuff, on the other hand, is surprisingly non-dated.
