About this listen

The advertisement offered the ultimate Virtual Reality experience. Using a new technology known as Immersive Virtual Reality or IVR, you could truly experience the game as if you were in it. For someone who has been confined to a wheelchair all of his life, the promise was impossible to ignore, but only a few would be invited to take part in the Alpha test of the new game. Devon decided he would be one of those few.

To ensure he would be chosen he took the most unlikely combination of skills specializing primarily as a craftsman and secondarily as a healer. The best race for these skill trees is a Gnome but that further weakens his ability to fight and survive. Still, it is only the Alpha test and once in he can change it when they move to Closed Beta.

What could go wrong? Soon he finds out just how weak his choices seem to the developers who figure he will die a lot and always be a nobody. Name chosen, Gnobody sets out to take on Angromoria and it is everything he could hope for, until it becomes the only thing he may ever know.

Really good story line I really enjoyed listening to this book
But the ending is a little disappointing it feels like it was unfinished and ended in the middle of a chapter
Other than that it was a great book

Great book

I downloaded this on a whim and was genuinely surprised at how entertaining it was. I actually laughed out loud.
Definitely worth a listen

Well written and interesting. Listen right to the end, it will tug at your heart. I loved every minute of this book.

Lovely book

I'ts not battle focused, and I generally like the part where the main character doesn't get everything handed by luck.

Great book, another pace

Really enjoyed this one. The characters had depth, the story was well paced with several unexpected twists which added dimensions to the tale at just the right times. When I thought it might be a simple world of warcraft story it branched and suddenly got interesting. Great stuff. Looking forward to Beta testing!

Best fantasy title fir a while

Brilliant book. I loved the story line and characters. It leaves you desperate to know what happens next! The only thing that lets it down is how long the stat reviews are. It seemed to take multiple minutes and as I understand reading those wouldn’t be an issue, listening too then is mind numbing. Terrible news about the author passing, but I hope the sequel (if released) matches the levels of this book.

Loved it!

It was a brilliant listen, very funny as well as easy to understand. Being a gamer I'd love that bag of holding too!

Funny modern fantasy

It is a shame that the author of this book has passed away (RIP David Pendleton), the story was shaping up to be a good one.
At the end of the book there is a message saying that the 2nd book has been written and will be released this year, not sure if this book was released in 2021 or 22.
Looking forward to the next one.

Solid Start

the story is amazing I love how it is told and I am imagining how the story would go on.

it was sad to hear the author passed away but he left a wonderful book that many people will love.

amazing story ❤️

Homely, cheesy , warm and slightly different spin to the vr world novels out there. It had me in its grip from the first chapter to the last. Looking forward to the second part. It is a shame it is not going to be a saga spanning across the life of the Gnobody but greatly good things tend to be hard to find and continue. In fact I will relisten it one more time now...

Enjoyed every single moment of it ☺️
