5.0 out of 5 stars What IS Reality, Anyway?
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2014

I started this book late last night and lost quite a bit of sleep because it was just too good to put down. I was halfway through it before I finally forced myself to stop and go to sleep. I eagerly read the second half as soon as I had a chance today.

First of all, I want to say that Michael Robertson is a talented writer. There are certain styles of writing that appeal to me more than others and Robertson's style definitely appeals. He is insightful and emotionally engaging with his use of words. His main character, Jake, has a ton of depth and I couldn't help but find myself wrapped up in his story.

When I finished reading A New Reality: Truth, it occurred to me that part of the reason I like it so much is because it reminds me of my favorite childhood show: The Twilight Zone. I felt like child again, engrossed in a creepy story, thinking I had it figured out, only to find that I was wrong, and the ending was even creepier and better than I could have imagined. In my world, that is a great book!

There is a little bit of repetition when it comes to certain phrases and dialogue in the story, but it is infrequent and minor enough that it does not take away from the overall awesomeness of the book.

I highly recommend New Reality: Truth for readers who enjoy science fiction and dystopian stories. I also recommend it to anyone who wants a thought-provoking, creepy, well-written book to get lost in for a while.

I will definitely be reading more from this author!

4.0 out of 5 stars What’s Your New Reality Like?

A new “gaming” experience has swept the world created by Rixon, the worlds biggest company. This new game allows you to experience anything that you can dream of, literally. You plug in and all of your cares or fears wash away. Everyone has plugged into it except Jake and Tom. These two are wandering the destroyed lands after the world was left to rot when everyone plugged in. Follow these unlikely travel partners as they try to find Tom’s son in this new wasteland. Along the way they face off against an unknown enemy who is trying to kill them at what seems like every step.

After I finished this book last night, I knew that the review was going to be hard to write. Not because the book was bad, far from it. The book was interesting and unique in many ways. But, because there is no way to write about how I really feel because it is a HUGE spoiler. I can say this, the book did NOT end the way that I expected. I was really expecting a totally different angle to be take towards the end. With that being said, I think the ending is what a lot of others were expecting. It wasn’t anti-climactic my any means, I think that some readers would feel like it was a cop out.

I couldn’t help but drawing a ton of similarities from Wall-E. Minus the cute robots, the characters were similar in both disconnection and girth. Even the way the the city was supposed to be left made me think of this movie. I don’t think this takes away from the book a ton, but the similarities are definitely there.

The two characters were lovable and hate-able which made this book so interesting to read. Jake is so optimistic and really tries to take their grim and crappy situation with a smile if he can. Tom was almost his voice of reason, while being a pessimist. It was almost like a big brother, little brother type of friendship.

By the end of this story, all I could think was “what’s going to happen?” And I’m here to tell you, even though this is supposed to be part of a series–the book has a proper ending (yay!).

Overall, this book was a weird combination of dystopian, sci-fi, and post-apocalyptic. It peaked my interest and kept it, and gave me a surprise ending, which isn’t always easy to do.

This book is ok for a quick read. You can skim or speed read it. Pretty dull and monotonous and repetitive, but compelling enough to get through. The ending is amusing. Worth getting for free or for 99 cents.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting story idea, poorly executed.
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2017

Though I love the ideas put forth in this story, I did not enjoy the story or the characters at all. I found the two main characters very irritating. In every chapter, they are continuously bickering and going back and forth between hating and loving each other. Perhaps if the author had focused more on the events that were happening than on the arguments between these two, it would have been more interesting and pleasurable to read.

The story itself had some very interesting plot ideas, but I don't feel they were developed fully. As I said, if the author had focused more on the overall story rather than the mostly empty dialogue between these two, it would have been a much better story.

I listened to the audio version and, while the narration was okay, I think it probably added to my annoyance with the main characters, but had I been reading rather than listening, I don't think I would have finished the book.

Truth is the first book in the New Reality series it's very good I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's impossible to put down the whole book is based on two characters i think that's amazing. Anyway it's a brilliant story and I can't recommend it high enough.

Well written. Very descriptive in many layers. I enjoyed the corporate references of the old world. This story has quite a desolate feel to it, but keeps you engaged through to the end. I enjoyed the ending and look back at the story with more questions than answers...which leads me to wanting more...as every good book should do. Worth taking the time to read.

It's a really interesting read. Without spoiling anything I would say it makes you question a lot of things. I found myself thinking of reality and how o perceive it. I gotta think if a book makes you do that it must be doing something right

It's an interesting premise, for those who can't decide if they are in the moment, or in a the dream.
