22/7 - Great plot! Great suspense! I just wish the author hadn't decided to make his POV changes even worse than they were in Game. The changes are lightning fast, leaving the reader with a paragraph or two only, before the story switches from one sibling to the other, and then back again. The switches are very annoying but they definitely achieve their desired outcome (or what I believe was the author's desired outcome) - keeping the suspense level raised and forcing me to read pages, if not ch...
I'm beginning to lose my love affair with the Game trilogy. Whilst I genuinely enjoyed Game, albeit with some minor quibbles, it does feel like Buzz is a step backwards rather than forwards. The whole premise seemed to have so much promise at the beginning, but now a lot of it feels like a wasted opportunity.Firstly, there's my more petty complaints: the overuse of the exclamation mark, text speech in prose, typos and completely confusing passages where you have absolutely no clue who the author...
This is a sequel to Game, and another book that I impulsively snatched from netgalley. While the first one wasn't bad, this one had more issues. But first, the positives!HP was a lot less of a little shit. Still a douche, but slightly better and I even rooted for him a little bit, especially after he got a job at the evil ArgosEye and did some bad-ass things. Not as happy with Rebecca though, because she somehow became even more boring and so much more stupid, not to mention a casually horrible
I had a big doubt - to give 2 or 3 stars. Finally, I've decided to give it 3 stars because there are some parts I really liked. I totally agree with this conversation.(view spoiler)[‘The internet is positively groaning with information that people are forcing on each other. Favourite television programmes, films and books, religious and political opinions, the kids’ Christmas presents or what they made for dinner. And why? Well, all because the vast majority of us are longing for just one thing....
Anders de la Motte did a good job of his continuation of "Game" into "Buzz" and I hope into "Bubble". Which I hope to read before the new year if everything works out I want to know what happens to HP or his sister Rebecca. He work everything out and he became richer although he was pretty beat up during the whole book. Anders did a good job of continuing his troubles with the "Game". It was nice too read and was well written as a series.
This book was way better than the first one. To be honest I really was not expecting much. The plot is full of twists and sudden switches between the two main characters. HP and Rebecca are not likable characters, but nonetheless I was rooting for them. One more book to go!
Great second part of trilogy.
I received a free ebook copy of this from NetGalley.I tried. After reading Game, I thought I wouldn't. But I gave it a chapter to see if the writing was any better. And really, no. It was not. I learned something though - not to request the second book in a series before reading the first. Oh well.Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for providing the opportunity to read this.
Frankly, there is only one thing I really liked about this book - the fact that it addressed an important issue and that would be the complete 'lack of privacy' we are experiencing in our digital age. Internet remembers everything- and as the author noticed, not even Orwell with his Big Brother concept could have foreseen the monitoring we are all agreeing to these days. Now, this is not a subject you see debated in most novels. In that sense, Buzz felt quite relevant. Moreover, the way that the...
Game and Buzz are the first two books in a three book thriller series by Swedish author Anders de la Motte.In Game, the first installment, we meet Henrik “HP” Pettersson and his sister Rebecca Normén. HP is an aimless loser while Rebecca is a bodyguard with the Swedish Security Police. When HP acquires a cell phone left behind on a train, the mysterious device keeps asking him if he wants to play a game. He was just going to sell the thing for some quick cash, but when it asks him by name to pla...
Oh boyy. There's a lot going on with this one... So let me start with the good stuff.The story is good. It's exciting, promising and you just want to keep on reading because you just háve to know how it will end. The entire book is one big puzzle and in the end, the pieces will fit together. It actually makes you want to read more.But the reason why I'm only giving this book two stars is because of the writing. I wanted to see if the writer developed his writing skills after the first book but h...
My Grade = 60% - D-Earlier this month I found Game, the first book in this trilogy at a thrift store, and I liked it so much that, by the time I was halfway through, I bought the next two books in the series on eBay.I just finished Buzz, the second book at the town pool about an hour ago. As I sit here typing this, book by my side, I see that on the bottom is ink stamped "Mobile Public Library," and on the back is a sticker that reads, "DISCARD." I only wish that I had done that before I started...
At first I was disappointed to find out thissecond novel of the Game trilogy was notas exciting as the first one. But then oncethe author has all his set-up complete, (aboutthree-quarters into the book), thenwham!, it gets good again. Lots of twists anda satisfying conclusion to Book 2, despite alsobeing a cliffhanger for Book 3.I am still frustrated with the author's techniqueof bobbing back and forth in short scenariosbetween his two protagonists -- why can't hejust give alternating chapters o...
The buzz continues. Think this one is a little better (more twisty) than the first book.
