Jacqueline Schottler’s Reviews > Playworld > Status Update

Play World is a smart, slow-burn anti-coming of age novel, and I mean slow. Watching how the adults ultimately take advantage of the protagonist was fascinating but uncomfortable, adding an extra layer of grit to the story. Still, the lack of resolution naturally left me unsatisfied.
Thought-provoking? Absolutely. Perfectly titled? Yes. But I wanted a bit more payoff for the ride.
