This is almost Jurassic Park meets The Hunger Games although it’s not set in a dystopian landscape or prehistoric terrain - it’s a big game safari environment. This isn't my typical genre and I think a younger reader would enjoy it more than I did which could be why I wasn't as engaged as I hoped to be. But it has its finger on the pulse of game-playing, cutting edge technology which has a lot of appeal for a younger audience. There is a strong sense of right versus wrong and trophy hunting plays a part which offers some scope for youngsters to think about the environment and the preservation of species. It’s very much an adventure, plenty of action some of it very tense and threatening. There’s probably more violence than I would like in a book for teens but maybe I’m showing my age. It’s a fast paced crisp, easy to read narrative. And…… it’s the first of a series.
