Customer Reviews

this book was a rally good book.

i like this book alot becasue it was short but interesting. i liked the way that they described the throne room and the other missions they had to complete.this book was funny beacuse they told us how they got small and that they were afraid but they had to work together to beat the game .i was glad that they were able to work together beacuse if you have two people trying to do domething they aren't going to go anywhere if they dont work with each other, just like in real life.thats why i liked this book and i wouldn't mind reading it again.

this book is cool

"Rodomonte's Revenge is a cool and exciting book. It's about two boys that love video games. They played a virtual reality game, and everything that happens in the game starts happening in real life.

A Great Book For Short Term Readers

Have you ever heard that opposites attract? Well, in this book it's surely true! The two protagonists, or main characters, are Brett Wilder and Tom Houston. Brett is very paranoid, and thinks about everything before he does it. Tom, on the other hand, doesn't think anything bad will happen, and runs into everything without thinking. And, as you'd know it: they're best friends. Their friend Willie helps them the most, by sending messages across the sky of the game that they, later in the book, get stuck in. The story takes place in the mall, where they are the first in line to play the newest virtual reality game...as you guessed...it's called Rodomonte's Revenge. But the bad part is that while they're playing this awesome game, it is taking control of them as they think and act. The system has bugs in it, and fire rivers, and tunnel spiders, high winds and a big, bad giant named Rodomonte. If they die in the game, they die forever. So...read this good and short book to find out if Brett and Tom survive. This novel was and is a great story for short term readers. It's only about 100 pages long. The plot of the book was clear and in sequence, as some of Gary Paulsen's books aren't. So go read this great book, Nintendo fans!
