Relation Concering Books Heir Apparent (Rasmussem Corporation #2)

In the virtual reality game Heir Apparent, there are way too many ways to get killed--and Giannine seems to be finding them all. Which is a darn shame, because unless she can get the magic ring, locate the stolen treasure, answer the dwarf's dumb riddles, impress the head-chopping statue, charm the army of ghosts, fend off the barbarians, and defeat the man-eating dragon, she'll never win.

And she has to, because losing means she'll die--for real this time.

Judge Out Of Books Heir Apparent (Rasmussem Corporation #2)

This book was all the escape I could have asked for this past week- I was literally snorting with laughter at one point. A wonderful blend of action, personal stakes, humor, and enough do-overs even the main character is frustrated. Read it - you won't regret it!

I'm embarrassed to say that I tried this book. I don't remember why I picked it up off the shelf at the library, or why I was excited to start it. I don't think I fully read the premise. When I read the dedication ("This book is dedicated with affection for, but no patience with, those who would protect our children through humorless moralizing and paranoia about fantasy.") I thought I would enjoy it. But from just about the first page, I could tell it wasn't my type. I found Heir Apparent

I really dont think you guys understand how much I mean it when I say: This is seriously one of my favorite books of all time.I read it for the first time when I was in middle school and Ive read it several times since. Even now, at the geriatric old age of 24, I still absolutely adore this story. Its everything I want, ties in so beautifully with some of my most excitingly dramatic fantasies, and I JUST WANT IT TO BE MADE INTO A MOVIE SOSOSOSOSO BAD!Heir Apparent follows 14-year-old Giannine

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. The cover doesn't do the book justice. Basically, it is about a girl who is playing a virtual reality game called "Heir Apparent". Some child safety group against video gaming sabatoges the establishment while she is at play. She can't get out of the game until she wins, but with the sabatoge, there is a chance for her brain to get fried if she stays too long in the game. This book is great for the younger audience that is past the chapter book

A fun read, Heir Apparent is a story about a near-future girl stuck in a VR game (resulting from a terrorist attack) with only a little time to win the game before her nervous system collapses from prolonged exposure to the VR stimuli. Apparently it's second in a series, but I had no idea, as this was another random selection from the library. Also, the author makes it clear that this was written - at least in part - as a reaction to fundamentalists and others who rail against the value of

I was super into the premise of this book, especially the (I thought) overarching theme of censorship, specifically the feverish censorship of children and the media (or anything, really) available for consumption. The opening scenes of the main character having to enter the gaming center through rabid, protesting parents was so powerful, alluding, I am sure, to the experience of women entering an abortion clinic in our political climate. Off to a good start, I thought! Powerful and believable.

I dont remember when I first read this book. I honestly thought I had already rated it! Im pretty sure Ive read Heir Apparent several times and I think this summer will be the perfect time for a reread so that I can read the other two books in the trilogy! :)
