  Book: Don't Play the Game Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Author: Wes Mogenson My Thoughts: Wes Mogenson's other book "Don't Play the Game" is a compelling read for not only today's new generation but their parents as well. The story is about the two teenage best friends Pam and Amber. When Pam saw all the students of her class obsessed with the Creature Hunt Now game, she thought that the game had turned her classmates into mindless zombies.  There is so much hype about this game. Those who don't play it are called low on social scales but Pam doesn't care about that. One night when Amber didn't reach to meet Pam, Pam got worried as Amber is always punctual and reliable.

The author has mentioned the character name at the top of each chapter so readers could easily understand whose pov it is. I am happy to read this book. I wish I would h...
