The pacing was frustrating and some of the character decisions made little sense or felt forced by plot more than their own personalities. Even so, it ended in an interesting way that I enjoyed. Wil Wheaton's audio narration was a big help. I don't think I'd have stuck with it the whole way without that. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

But now that it's her turn to provide for the Ark, everything changes ...With Mission's life placed in danger in order to boost ratings, Asher must choose between protecting the show he's dedicated his life to, or the woman who has been the focus of his attention since the day he was born.Vicarious (adjective): Experienced in the imagination through the feelings or actions of another person.

I really enjoyed reading Vicarious. It was well written, well plotted and fast paced. The book touches on living in a VR world after humanity nearly destroys itself, class divisions, and a continuous reality show reminiscent of The Truman Show, except that it takes place on a starship orbiting Earth. Highly recommended. ( )
