KPE 214: "Bit Scream"

"Bit Scream" by Richard Gunther
Tyler and Jacob from Room 18 tell us about a book with a most unusual title and a pretty unusual plot. The main character, Michael loves it when his father drives fast in his car. One wintery night when they are driving home, with the headlights lighting up the snaking, twisting road, they take the corners at dangerous speed. The car whistles like a bullet towards a sharp bend .... suddenly Michael knows they're not going to make it.
"Dad! Dad! Stop!"
Michael wakes up in hospital, at the beginning of an unfolding nightmare. Why does his voice seem distant, his body unreal? Why do the nurses all look the same? Why has the old scar disappeared from his hand?
Gradually things begin to be explained and Micheal learns what is real and what is not in this 'Virtual Reality'. Have a listen and tell them what you think....

    Hi Tyler and Jacob
    This was quite a crazy plot that you chose to review and you did it well. Told us enough to make it interesting but left us with lots more to read and find out for ourselves.
    I can see why you enjoyed this book with Jacob now a champion driver - good luck with the soap box derby nationals coming up!
    I really liked your graphics that you drew too. Well done.
    Looking forward to hearing more from you two
