I am currently reading "The Eye Of The Minds" by James Dashner. The characters in the story are faced with a difficult task of finding a pro gamer in the Virtnet. The Virtnet is a virtual world that the characters go into and they use there hacking skills to get through specific areas of the Virtnet. Michael, Sarah, and Bryson are looking for Kaine to try to stop him from killing people in the Virtnet. They have to find a place called "The Path" which will lead them to Kaine. The Path is really difficult to hack and they go through a lot of obstacles.

The book is futuristic and has technology that is not available currently in the real world. The worst thing about this book is that the description is a little hard to visualize because no one has really seen the Virtnet or the places that the characters go in the book. I do like the setting though because it is different and is a mystery to put together. The author was very creative while writing this book. There is a part in the book where the 3 friends are just getting to the path. An old lady who was sitting at the entrance told them that they have to figure out what time it is to go forward in their journey. I liked having to try to solve the old lady's riddle. The friends found out that there were stone disks in the ground and they had to go through the 10:00 disk. They had to go through the 10:00 disk because this is what time it was.

The description of the disks was difficult to picture because I have never seen them before. A quote in this part of the book that describes the disks are, "Michael sprinted across the disk, jumping over several more gaping holes that had formed. To his left, another huge piece of the stone broke away from the edge and fell, then another to his right. In the middle, where the old Satchel had sat in her chair, a section exploded in a spray of rocks, the dull purple light of the clouds shining through the hole when it was gone." I wanted to know more about the colors and facial expressions. I also wanted to know the size of the disks compared to the size of something I have seen before. If I could relate the setting to something I have seen before, it would be much easier to visualize the setting in the book.
