Oh James Dashner you have done it again. After reading "Maze Runner" I felt like I wasn't smart enough to figure the very complicated plot he had woven and now here I am again - utterly confused. "The Eye of Minds" is a twist in that we don't really know what is virtual and what is real. Michael along with his two hacking/gaming friends through themselves into the VirtNet to help the authorities and find the big bad guy who could be killing people for real while they are in their virtual worlds. Kaine remains an enigma and it will take everything these young people have to get through the games to find the path and stop a killer. Adults who enjoy gaming and fans of "Ready Player One" will enjoy the intricate plot of this book. The added angle of the government involving this group of young people is a bonus that makes the confusion complete - you don't know who the bad guys are.
