So off my normal reads. But these last few new James Patterson have been nothing but stunning. This was kinda like survivor on steroids. There were lots of contestants but they made it simple by just showing the ones the book really focused on. Wyatt was hands down my fav. Especially with all the character growth. Just don’t get too attached to people 😂 please sequel

I don't even know where to start. I suppose I'll open by emphasizing that this was a public library loan, because of course I would never pay money for this, and of course the library would acquire many copies simply because new James Patterson books always circulate well, so it was easy to get on the hold list for the first round. It was obvious from the first announcement about this book that it would be a hot pile of garbage and as a self-styled bad book afficionado, I simply had to get ahead of the curve and read this right away.
I would like to be able to say that this was the first book I've read with two named authors in which neither of them wrote the book, but that would actually be The Man That Follows God. At least this time, one of the listed authors has at least read a book before. Probably.
My history with James Patterson is thus: one time on an overnight ferry between Greek islands, I oversaw a young American man reading a paperback. I could see it had incredibly short chapters, sometimes less than a full page of text. Each new chapter started with a huge "Chapter XX" title and the text only started on the bottom third of the page. I couldn't imagine what kind of book needed to fluff itself out like this, nor what kind of experience such incredibly short so-called chapters could provide. Many years later I learned that James Patterson books and other comparable thrillers, like Dan Brown's, were like this. At no point in my life would this kind of book appeal to me. No shade to readers of such, if they enjoy them. I assume that some of them are of acceptable quality and provide the desired experience. The only other things I know about James Patterson is that his books have always sold very well, and that it's been a long time since he wrote them himself, even when the co-author who actually wrote it is not co-listed. So while I don't know first-hand what the typical quality of a James Patterson book is, I can authoritatively say: this book is awful.
This book reads like no one involved in the writing or editing gave a shit. It's a rapidly churned-out piece of formulaic dreck. It's got good production values; the interior and exterior designers did their jobs well. But the entire concept of the book is stupid, the execution of the concept equally so, the writing quality is abysmal and the whole affair is nonsensical.
The book opens with a list of characters and their descriptions, which is simultaneously helpful because often a tertiary character will be named and there's little reason to expect the reader to recall exactly which one they were, and unnecessary because every time a character appears they will be presented alongside their one-sentence background and single personality trait. There aren't exactly any well-rounded characters with depth and genuine emotion after all.
After that, we are presented with a letter from MrBeast. That's right, not only is his name on the outside of the book, he's also a character! This letter is the invitation he wrote inviting 1,000 selected individuals. The letter reads like a mass-mailing scam pitch written by an untalented thirteen-year-old. It invites the recipient to a competition for one billion dollars, currency not specified; it could be US dollars but it could equally be Liberian dollars or Zimbabwean dollars, jokes on you! It's a worldwide competition after all. Ah, who are we kidding, obviously this book defaults to American whenever it can. The letter further states that the games will be dangerous and include a risk of death, but that's okay because the real prize is even more important than a billion dollars: the winner will vaguely be positioned to cure all the world's ills! These include,
Naturally, very few of the letter recipients go along with this poorly written letter promising vague influential powers if only you survive potential death and come out on top. It's obviously absurd—just kidding! All one thousand people go along with it! And it's not like they kept inviting people until they got one thousand gullible buffoons, it's specifically stated, "The letter has never been seen by anyone who didn't participate in the final competition." They must have carefully chosen a thousand proper patsies.
The book is helpfully divided into parts, titled "GAME #1", "GAME #2," etc. "GAME #1" covers the first game. "GAME #2" covers the second and third games. "GAME #3" covers the fourth game. "GAME #4" covers the fifth, sixth, and seventh games. See, helpful!
This type of thriller is all about short, snappy chapters. There are 125 chapters in 450 pages, which makes for approximately three pages of text per chapter on average, factoring in the many illustrations, so many that it approaches the appearance of a children's book. The illustrations are decent line art, and enhance the reading experience. See, when some competitors are in the water trying to swim past some sharks and a helicopter suddenly shows up, it's an amazing experience to then see a helicopter drawn right there on the page!
Jack's line in the passage above in nonsensical, by the way. There is no reason for him to comment on how fast or slow the helicopter appeared or travels. Whether it is in the air or not at any time point is utterly irrelevant to anything else going on.
Anyway, back to the thriller format. It is admittedly effective at times. In the early chapters, it did enhance tension, as the story flipped between two locations and sets of characters, both swimming through groups of potentially deadly ocean dwellers. But much more often the format undercuts itself, with its constant need to try to create snappy chapter finishes that propel the reader onward, desperate to find out what happens next. More than once, this is attempted with "shocking reveals" that have already been revealed dozens of pages earlier. More often, it's a "shocking twist" that is instantly negated in the next chapter. At one point, a contestant goes looking for her friend in the friend's room. The friend isn't there! OMG what could have happened to her! She goes to another mutual friend. "Hannah is missing?" Other guy: "Holy shit! She's missing!" Start of next chapter: "Oh there she is sitting across the room." Even actual theoretically major developments are then made to go, pttthhhbbtt. One time a up-to-then major character is bitten by the same deadly spider species that another character just died from. Next chapter: he made it to a medical team in time and got antivenin. And it's not like this played out dramatically; the next chapter just jumps ahead in time to another location and the character explains that's what happened. Probably the worst one is when a character who was set up as vulnerable and endearing is blown up by a grenade, which he threw himself in front of to save others. Next chapter:
The writing, whoever did it, is the hackiest of hack writing you've ever seen. It is, of course, very much constant telling and never showing of any emotion, such that character relationships are utterly devoid of impact and there is absolutly no reason for any reader to experience any emotion. Oh, this guy loves this girl now? Sure, why not. Oh, she died? He's sad? Oh well. Emotional stakes are not the only type absent: story stakes are equally null. There is no stated secret (I wish I could say "hinted-at secret" but the book simply says at every turn: "he has a secret"), no possible outcome, no choice of winner of the competition that matters a damn at any point. The vagueness of "how exactly will the winner be positioned to change the world for the better" does not resolve at any point. Any line of dialogue or pseudo-profound statement in the text in that direction is meaningless when it's not confusing. Dialogue is performative and inhuman. And the style, featuring short clipped sentences and overwritten, tacked-on statements of significance has the opposite effect as intended. I thought at one point that the quality of the writing was not significantly above that of The Forensic Certified Public Accountant and the Cremated 64-Squares Financial Statements, and this is not the last time I'll reference that book in this review.
It's certainly written for the lowest common denominator, based solely on the repetition. There's absolutely no risk of losing track of what's going on in this book, because it recaps itself at every turn. I mentioned already how each character brief background and solitary personality trait is reiterated at each appearance. In addition, the text will re-list for you all the characters who are in the "good guy" group repeatedly, specifically remind you of the basic current goings-on, etc. It's great for a bathroom book or other situations where you might only read a few pages a week (and the bathroom is the only place this book deserves to live). Or if you're reading this because you're a MrBeast fan and reading isn't exactly your bag. The repetition even extends to the in-paragraph level with passages like this:
The ending. Ugh. Let's just say that the big reveal, the unveiling of the book's main mystery, is a real Clef Treble moment. (If you know, you know).
And the real, very ending, is literally indistinguishable from that of Handbook for Mortals, a book that I guarantee will outrank this one in terms of its peak NY Times Bestseller List placement. See if you can spot any difference:
(For those of you not on the desktop site for whom the images don't show, the lines are, "THE END (OR IS IT?)" and "And they lived happily ever after ... OR DO THEY?"
I would of course be remiss if I don't mention the elephant in the room, which is the spectre of AI-generated writing, or as it more appropriately known, AI slop. Now, I don't think anyone thinks this book is entirely the product of AI. But some of my friends immediately grafted onto specific AI-isms that appear at frequency even in just the free preview pages of this book available on Amazon. I, as someone who has let himself go into unfortunate depths of AI slop books in the past (I'm in ongoing recovery), have sometimes found myself triggered by stock phrases and sentence patterns endemic to AI "prose" that appear even in books that I have absolutely no belief involved AI in any way. Of course LLMs were trained on real human writing, and so of course occasionally real human writing will include something that LLMs regenerate ad nauseum, and it's only because of exposure to the latter that they stand out when encountered. Like, in Breath of the Dragon, the phrase "unwavering determination" (an earlier generation AI favourite) appeared twice, which stopped me both times, both it fit the tone of the book and the moments in which they appeared. There is zero chance that Fonda Lee writes with AI. But in books like this one, the frequency that such things appear must give one pause in this age. There are long portions in which no such thing occurs. But there are others in which stereotypical AI phrasing recurs often enough to make the knowledgeable reader wonder. It could be that, since this book is written by the hackiest, schlockiest means possible, by one or more ghostwriters that churns this kind of crap out without concern for art or meaning, that this style of phrasing is par for the course. I haven't read anything published under Patterson's name before so I can't personally say. But if the best-case scenario is that your actual writing is frequently highly similar to slop AI output ... maybe your writing is really shitty.
(I previously shared many examples from the text, rife with paragraph-averse strings of sentence fragments, "Not this. Not that. overly dramatic ellipsis THIS! statements and other negative parallelism, nonsensical or extremely lousy simile, etc. but moved these to the comments to leave room to share a couple last things before I hit the GR review character limit).
This review is basically done as of a couple paragraphs ago, but I can't resist sharing a couple more stupid things from this very stupid book. There are many more than I could possibly detail, but these ones stand out in my memory.
One is that MrBeast, superspy, tracks down the people responsible for the games in part by confirming the shipment of pallets the "correct" size/shape for IV lines and other items that are small enough to be packed in any number into boxes of any size, and those boxes stacked in any number and orientation to create a pallet of literally any configuration. This is nonsense "evidence". Coincidentally, following this type of evidence is exactly what another super-smart character suggested in a letter to her French police investigator parents, a letter which she gave to the showrunners because of course they will definitely mail anything from the participants unread and intact. The same goes for taking secret spy calls from MrBeast on phones that the conspirators provided to them, while on property owned and monitored by the conspirators who use impossibly high-tech cameras and microphones constantly. But it's okay because MrBeast, being the superspy he is, says he figured out how to "scramble" the calls! You know, via that very real technology employed in every cheap spy action movie since the 1960s, generic scrambling! Surely the bad guys won't then be able to listen in on every word spoken into the phones they provided themselves if it's scrambled from the other end.
And back to the ending ... seriously, the entire end sequence is so mind-numbingly nonsensical that it's almost worth reading the book for yourself just to experience it. I'm talking multiple villains who are defeated by someone walking in and saying, "I'm in charge now!" and the villains saying, "Damnit, okay," and glumly sauntering off to sulk in the corner. I'm talking a complete lack of clarity added to any of the vague, absurd ideas driving the book from its opening.
From beginning the end, this book is stuffed with lazy ideas, and even lazier, cringe-inducing, sloppy writing, and we can only hope for a just world in which publisher loses most of the absurd amount of money they invested in it and, even better, learns a lesson from the experience.
I would like to be able to say that this was the first book I've read with two named authors in which neither of them wrote the book, but that would actually be The Man That Follows God. At least this time, one of the listed authors has at least read a book before. Probably.

The letter further states that the games will be dangerous and include a risk of death, but that's okay because the real prize is even more important than a billion dollars: the winner will vaguely be positioned to cure all the world's ills! These include,
not only the endless number of growing wars. It's systems breaking. Rolling blackouts. Water you can't count on. Supply lines snapping. Storms and heat and fires and floods. People being pushed from their homes. A crisis of what is real and what isn't, where no one can be sure of what to believe anymore. Trust in our world is almost entirely gone."Surely, one person fix this, if only they win this series of games, they will "get the scale and access to make a difference." You can believe this, because as the real world has shown us, billionaires make the world a better place.
Naturally, very few of the letter recipients go along with this poorly written letter promising vague influential powers if only you survive potential death and come out on top. It's obviously absurd—just kidding! All one thousand people go along with it! And it's not like they kept inviting people until they got one thousand gullible buffoons, it's specifically stated, "The letter has never been seen by anyone who didn't participate in the final competition."

They hear the roar of it, feel the whirring of the rotors, the helicopter so close to the water it's creating waves all around them the way a storm would. The sound is enormous. Physical. Jack feels it in his ribs.
Too fast, Jack thinks. Like it was already in the air.
Jack's line in the passage above in nonsensical, by the way. There is no reason for him to comment on how fast or slow the helicopter appeared or travels. Whether it is in the air or not at any time point is utterly irrelevant to anything else going on.

Probably the worst one is when a character who was set up as vulnerable and endearing is blown up by a grenade, which he threw himself in front of to save others. Next chapter:
Somehow, he survived the grenade blast.That is some top-notch writing right there! So thrilling.
The writing, whoever did it, is the hackiest of hack writing you've ever seen. It is, of course, very much constant telling and never showing of any emotion, such that character relationships are utterly devoid of impact and there is absolutly no reason for any reader to experience any emotion.

Or if you're reading this because you're a MrBeast fan and reading isn't exactly your bag. The repetition even extends to the in-paragraph level with passages like this:
They've dressed them all the same: thermal gear, goggles, face wraps. And the same little add-on nobody talks about—a plastic wristband clipped snug over her glove, warm against her pulse. A tracker. Heartbeat, location, motion. If it flatlines, they're already moving. Her wristband warms against her pulse.Yes, that was already stated not two lines of text ago. The fact that this appears on page one forces you to wonder, did anyone at all review this before it went to print? Later errors include events happening out of order (There are fifty people. Now there are thirty left. Now almost half the remaining people leave. Now there are thirty people left. Later: the group is flown to another country, then to another continent. On the same page they are then still in the first city before their flight. All in present tense with no suggestion that the second part is a flashback or recounting of earlier events), and more repetition like (paraphrased but not at all inaccurate):
There are spiders. There are snakes.In a book full of nonsensical, stupid moments, every scene with MrBeast wins the Most Cringe award. After a chapter that finishes dramatically with, "Jimmy Donaldson has reappeared and is walking to the microphone," ooohh boy, we get this delightful scene:
Spiders and snakes.
...
Spiders. Snakes.
Jimmy is onstage and leaning toward the mic stand now. He lifts a hand for quiet. But right before he begins to speak someone from the crowd yells out, "You're crazy until you're successful and then you're a genius."Sure it does. I suppose this is a MrBeast quote? No one who reads this book will ever know. MrBeast as portrayed in this book is a at various times a shark expert and expert underwater mimer, ...
Jimmy taps his index finger to the side of his head, smiling, and leans toward the microphone.
"Who said that?" He looks around and no one admits it. "It's a pretty good line, even if it's a little cringe," he says.
It gets him a good laugh.
Then he sees the shark's attention shift to his immediate left. And then the whole pattern changes, like someone just pressed a button. Jack carefully turns his eyes in the same direction—no sudden movements, not now—and sees another swimmer.(Please, dear reader: make a simple motion that communicates "Stay close. Don't thrash.") ... an utterly virtuous man, and later, MrBeast becomes an on-the-ground superspy and is able to fight off multiple trained thugs in close spaces and crack an entire multinational conspiracy.
Someone Jack recognizes instantly.
Jimmy Donaldson.
MrBeast himself.
As blown away as he is to see him here, Jack is even more shocked to see the guy is actually smiling at him. Like he's saying, Breathe. Move. Don't give them a reason.
He hadn't seen him since they boarded together.
Jimmy takes charge of the situation and makes a simple motion: Stay close. Don't thrash. Something about him makes Jack trust him: the calm. The way he moves like panic is a choice.
The ending. Ugh. Let's just say that the big reveal, the unveiling of the book's main mystery, is a real Clef Treble moment. (If you know, you know).
And the real, very ending, is literally indistinguishable from that of Handbook for Mortals, a book that I guarantee will outrank this one in terms of its peak NY Times Bestseller List placement. See if you can spot any difference:

I honestly didn’t expect to get so hooked on this book, but once the competition started, I just wanted to know what would happen next. The whole idea of putting 100 people in some of the most dangerous places in the world and asking them to survive for a billion dollars is wild. And the challenges are not easy at all. From the freezing cold of Antarctica to shark-filled waters, deserts, mountains and dark caves, every place brings a completely different kind of danger.
What I enjoyed most was not just the survival part, but the way the players started dealing with each other. At first, there are friendships and alliances, but when the prize is a billion dollars, you really can’t tell who is going to stay loyal. People lie, make deals, break them and sometimes turn against the very people they trusted.
There were quite a few moments where I thought, “Okay, how are they going to get out of this?” and that kept me reading. I also liked that the story moves quickly without getting stuck in unnecessary details. Something is always happening, so there isn’t much chance to get bored.
Some situations felt a little over the top, but honestly, that was part of the fun for me. It felt like watching a massive survival challenge where you actually care about who makes it out alive.
Overall, this was a really fun and gripping read. It has survival, danger, friendships, betrayals and enough twists to keep you guessing. If you enjoy books where the characters are constantly pushed to their limits and you want to keep turning the pages to see who survives, I think you’ll have a great time with this one.
What I enjoyed most was not just the survival part, but the way the players started dealing with each other.

Outstanding and thrilling....
The best I have read in a longtime. The strength of the characters, the plot, the ending (?), , make all together, A thrill ride.

Talk about a fast paced story. I’ve always enjoyed James Patterson short chapters. Quick to the point move on. Drawback for readers like me….just one more chapter.😊
Now for the story. Imagine getting a letter inviting you to participate in a game that could win you a billion dollars. Out of 1000 letters 100 get chosen. Then the “games” begin only these aren’t really games. Intense challenges that see people tapping out quickly. The remaining characters I grew attached to, rooting for and feeling sad when they didn’t make it. Supposedly the Host is looking for The One who can save the world. As things become harder and more dangerous people begin to form bounds and trust one another not what the Host wants to see. The ending was a tad confusing but it looks like another story will follow.

I genuinely think this might be the worst book I’ve read this year and that’s saying something because I’ve read Alchemised.

June 22, 2026I am going to love hate reading the f**k out of this bullshit. it might be the first time where i've read a book with multiple authors and none of them have actually written the book

September 19, 2026Sooooo.... I'm seeing a self insert fanfic about MrBeast by MrBeast and published under James Patterson's name.
It's just a theory but...Patterson famously lets anyone publish with him and I truly can't imagine MrBeast put in the effort to write this.
My money is on a third author who did all the work and let the other two slap their names on it.
Anyway, it'll be ages before I can properly read this one cause there's no way in heck I'm buying it. Libby, do your thing... but also take your time cause I'm not chomping at the bit with this one.

WOW! Follow 1000 contestants as they play some very dangerous games (some of them deadly) to see who is “The One”. Lots of twists and turns in this one! Cudos to Patterson teaming up with Mr. Beast on this one!

If there is ever a book that plays mind games to the extreme this one tops the list!

wow tought o put down was awesome. great characters and stories and moved fast

Unputdownable. This book was exciting from the start. I was excited to jump into it because I really enjoyed following MrBeast and the Beast Games series on Prime Video. I also love James Pattersons books so that idea that the two collabed to create this book cause anticipation. The book is easy to read and a page turner. As known of James Pattersons books, the chapters are precise and short. The plot and premise of the books come from Beast Games meets Hunger Games; playing the game, fighting the the death, to prove you are the one who deserves the badge of honor, pendant of courage and strength, and of course the billion dollars. If you are thinking about reading it I recommend it!

Felt the need to write a review after seeing all the reactions. I disagree. If you want a book that is a lot like Mr. beast comps with high stakes and lots of characters this was a fantastic read. Plus many chapters end in such intense cliff hangers you have no choice to keep reading. Where this book fell flat was trying to make it more than that. It tries to get deep, build complex characters with different motivations- it failed here. The twists at the end tried to shock and didn’t they felt random. But it is still a 4 star for me just because the experience was worth it for the fast paced adventure.

Jimmy D and Jimmy P crossing the generations to serve the worst shit you'll ever read. Just horrendous stuff folks.
Also this is a middle grade book masquerading as an adult thriller. Read 39 Clues or something instead. Christ.

“ChatGPT, write me a book that shamelessly rips off Squid Game and kisses Mr. Beast’s ass every 2 pages!”
September 6, 2026
I really enjoyed this book! I kept notes as I read it, trying to figure out what was going to happen, trying to figure out what a twist would end up being - and I still wasn’t able to figure out the twist. So points there, I didn’t see that being a possibility at all. The ending, however, I wish had wrapped things up a little better. Unless there is going to be another - which is maybe possible with the ending - it doesn’t really answer everything for me. Also how the winner was picked felt a little Lackluster for me. Overall though it was a great read and wouldn’t mind a sequel!
Review of advance copy received from Publisher
Dankzij de toffe recensie exemplaar van Harper Collins kon ik dit boek lezen. The most dangerous games is totaal in stijl, van Mr.Beast zijn videos. Een spelen met een gigantische prijs van een miljard. De organisatie van de spelen zoekt de ware, een persoon die de wereld kan veranderen en behoeden voor grote rampen. Maar zijn deze spelen wel zo eerlijk? Wie kun je vertrouwen en wie zou je zo laten vallen?
In het boek volgen we een aantal spelers, langzaam door het boek heen leren we ze beter kennen. Je ziet liefde en vriendschappen ontstaan, zelfs teams. De spelers worden voor bizarre keuzes gezet, en moeten hun angsten onder ogen komen. Dit leid tot trots maar ook tot fatale gevolgen. Mr.beast/Jimmy heeft een grote rol in het verhaal, met uitspraken die ik ook eerder heb gehoord in de videos. Dat geeft het boek een hele eigen en orginele stijl.

A book I couldn’t truly put down. Squid games meets well…Mr.Beast himself.
This book kept you on your toes the whole time.

Wat krijg je als je de wereld van MrBeast combineert met de thrillerstijl van James Patterson? Juist… een razend spannend boek dat je vanaf de eerste pagina meesleept! Jeetje mina wat heb ik vanaf het begin tot het einde van dit boek maximaal genoten!
Het spel begint met 1000 deelnemers, die allemaal willen strijden om een gigantisch geldbedrag. Uiteindelijk blijven er 50 over die het tegen elkaar mogen opnemen en in het boek volg je een vast aantal mensen het hele boek door.
De makers van het spel zijn vanaf bet begin duidelijk: je speelt voor de winst en dan word je 'De ware', maar het spel kan je ook letterlijk het leven kosten.
Gedurende het spel zie je vriendschap, liefde en vijanden ontstaan, terwijl iedereen uiteindelijk toch elkaars concurrent blijft. Het is in een mooie, vlotte en heldere manier geschreven. Het wisselen van de personen ging geleidelijk en bracht voor mij totaal geen verwarring. De hoofdstukken waren kort, wat ik ook erg fijn vond lezen.
En dan is er natuurlijk MrBeast (Jimmy) zelf. Hij is daadwerkelijk onderdeel van het verhaal en is precies zoals je hem van YouTube kent. Dat maakte het voor mij extra leuk en geloofwaardig.
Het verhaal is van begin tot eind pakkend en geen moment saai. Het is zo'n boek waarbij je eigenlijk helemaal niet wilt stoppen met lezen en zelfs baalt wanneer je hem moet wegleggen omdat je ook nog andere dingen in je leven te doen hebt.
En die plot twist, wow! Die zag ik echt totaal niet aankomen. Dit boek is echt mega uniek en ik raad iedereen die van MrBeast en/of thriller houdt, om dit boek bovenaan de TBR te zetten!
Heel veel dank aan uitgeverij HarperCollins dat ik dit boek als ARC mocht lezen. Ik ben daar echt super dankbaar voor!

SLUT! Eller er det?
Må gerne komme en efterfølger til denne bog.
Action og eventyr, til læsere af Percy Jackson og The Maze Runner...
Følte mig fuldt ud underholdt af læsningen og levede helt klart op til mine forventninger.

Edit #1 (Sep 1 2026): ITS AI DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME
and it is not just any AI, it’s most probably Meta AI, which is the absolute worst if you’re not familiar.
I said I was going to read this once, but I don’t shit where I eat.
Edit #2 (Sep 5 2026): I read till 43%, and boy let me tell you, this was torture reading. Sure I said I don’t shit where I eat, but I realized I was making accusations that were based on the foundation that I only read the preview, and felt that that was unfair. And I shat where I eat and tortured myself.
I’m not gonna go into detail because Marc has a phenomenal review already, so go like and check his out. He says it better than I can ever say it!
Jimmy once said in a video then later confirmed in an interview that he doesn't even read lol
and now we're getting a book written by him. It's all just a marketing scheme.
am I going to read it? hell yes. Is it going to be worth it? probably not but hell, how bad could it be? (Famous last words)

This reminds me of the Big. Brother and Survivor tv series. Dangerous games indeed however things moved super fast and sometimes the game just stopped for us readers and moved us on to the next one. It wasn’t bad. I enjoyed reading it. It just confused me a few times. Also readers of the witch and wizard may confuse “the one “ with the “one who is the one”.
It was hard to conceptualize Mr beast in the story itself for me too. Idk if he helped write his scenes or was just a special guest In the book.

0.5/5
before anyone has anything to say, i pirated this ebook. james patterson and mr beast have seen enough success that i dont want them to even receive one cent from me. i didnt even want to review this and give it any more attention but i decided i need to speak my piece and hopefully this stops someone else from having to read this
as predicted, this was not anywhere NEAR what i would consider a good book.
mr beast "wrote" a self aggrandizing novel where despite his self insert literally him character being literally USELESS he was still somehow a celebrity hero who saved the world.
masterclass of show not tell. constant time skips past what would actually be interesting and a criminal lack of any information that would benefit the story. this book tried so hard to have emotional moments but NONE of them were earned. just an unfortunate and unnecessary read.
i knew this was going to be bad going in but genuinely this was surprisingly bad. i have read acceptable james patterson novels in the past so this was really a shocker. there's no chance in hell mr beast actually wrote any of this and we all know james patterson barely writes his own books. save yourself the time and grab literally any other thriller novel you can find.

✨Recensie✨
Wat krijg je als je de spectaculaire wereld van MrBeast combineert met de spannende schrijfstijl van James Patterson? Een bizar spannende survivalthriller! 😱🔥
Duizend mensen ontvangen een uitnodiging voor een levensgevaarlijk spel. Slechts honderd mogen doorgaan naar de volgende ronde. De prijs: Een miljard dollar en de kans om de mensheid te redden. Maar de uitdagingen worden steeds extremer en niemand is te vertrouwen…
Het concept sprak me meteen aan: een groep mensen die meedoet aan bizarre en levensgevaarlijke uitdagingen, met een gigantische geldprijs als inzet. De opdrachten werden steeds extremer! De korte hoofdstukken en vlotte schrijfstijl zorgden ervoor dat ik steeds nog één hoofdstuk wilde lezen.
Ik vond het vooral leuk hoe MrBeast zelf onderdeel is van het verhaal. Het voelde als een combinatie van Squid Game, The Hunger Games en de bekende Beast Games, maar dan in boekvorm. Wel had ik van de samenwerking met Patterson iets meer verwacht. Ik ben fan van zijn boeken, maar kwam hier niet helemaal goed uit de verf helaas.
Niet alles vond ik even sterk, maar het concept is absoluut origineel en vooral ontzettend vermakelijk. Een boek vol actie, spanning, gevaar en onverwachte wendingen. 👀

Not sure what all of the bad reviews are about. I think if you look at it for what it is, a story about an influencer holding a high risk series of games, then you get that. Not sure where all the reviews saying how terrible the details are and the cruelty claims? There is nothing very detailed or gruesome in this story. I read it but did the audiobook along with it so I could get through it faster since I have had a lot of driving to do this week. The audible version is good too! I would give it 4.5 but closer to 5 than a 4, which explains my rating.

Duizend mensen worden uitgekozen voor het spel. Ze krijgen een brief van MrBeast die ze uitnodigt, maar dit moet strikt geheim blijven. De prijs? Een miljard dollar en het worden van “De Ware”. Dit is iemand die veranderingen kan maken in de wereld en ze kan behoeden voor de grootste problemen. Van deze duizend blijven er nog maar 100 over na de eerste ronde..
Al snel komen de deelnemers erachter hoe zwaar de spellen zijn. Niets is wat het lijkt en gevaar ligt overal op de loer. Onder leiding van “The Host” komen ze van alles tegen. Zwemmen in een race tegen de klok tegen haaien op Chili, ontkomen aan orka’s in Antartica en vervolgens de hoogste gebergtes beklimmen of de donkerste grotten ontdekken.
Langzaam vallen steeds meer deelnemers af, de groep die we volgen wordt kleiner en kleiner en “The Host” bepaalt wie het verdient te overleven. De spellen worden gevaarlijker en ondertussen is MrBeast bezig hun te redden. Maar of dit lukt en op tijd? Of vallen er nog meer slachtoffers? 🫣
Dit boek heeft een bijzonder plot! Iets wat je nog niet vaker hebt gelezen, maar wel meteen je interesse wekt. Het is een vlot geschreven boek, wat maakt dat je door wilt blijven lezen om te ontdekken welke bizarre spellen de deelnemers nu weer moeten volbrengen. Een verhaal vol spanning, uitdagingen en vriendschappen. Echt een waarin je ontdekt hoe snel mensen kunnen veranderen door een bepaald spel of bepaalde prijs die er te winnen is. Ik vond het een leuk en goed eerste boek van MrBeast, waar hij zelf ook veel in voorkomt, heel benieuwd of er nog meer gaan volgen! 👀
