MY REVIEW
This is a Swedish book about HP, a complete loser who finds a strange cellphone. He picks up the phone to steal it, but the phone asks him if he wants to play a game. HP starts playing the game for attention. His criminal activities are video taped for all the fans of the game to watch. HP is such a jerk, I was really hating him. The book is told mostly from the dual POV's of HP and his sister Rebecca. I thought the pacing of this book was really slow, it didn't start getting interesting till the end. I didn't like the characters, Rebecca or HP. The story had an interesting premise but it didn't come together for me. I am going to read the second book in the trilogy though, to see if it gets better. 3 stars
