Review of 'Deep Dive' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A friend labeled this the Ready Player One of 2022, an unputdownable thrill-ride. The chapter endings were certainly an adrenaline rush, and even though the plot had a degree of predictability to a seasoned sci-fi reader it was well-told and excitingly handled. I felt that the generic bad guy thing was perhaps a little overdone; there was little characterisation of the muscle and people were very free with weaponry. I also may have missed something, but the jump between the Peter who first wears the VR headset and the one who believes he has children seems to be wider than the story can account for when the memory gap is filled-in.
Nonetheless, niggles aside, an enjoyable and intriguing story and a lovely way to spend a few hours without a doubt.
