Jan 30, 2016 Zachary West rated it it was ok

This book wanted me to love it! The cast of characters is great, the danger that the characters faced is great, the idea of bringing the brightest young minds together with a hidden ulterior motive is great. I'm sure that there will be so much to love about the final publication, but unfortunately there is a lot of work to go with it in its ARC stage.

There are four major flaws I saw in the ARC copy I received that made me give this book a lower rating than I wanted.

1. There are a ton of visuals This book wanted me to love it! The cast of characters is great, the danger that the characters faced is great, the idea of bringing the brightest young minds together with a hidden ulterior motive is great. I'm sure that there will be so much to love about the final publication, but unfortunately there is a lot of work to go with it in its ARC stage.

There are four major flaws I saw in the ARC copy I received that made me give this book a lower rating than I wanted.

1. There are a ton of visuals in there. This would be fine if they enriched the story or illustrated computer screens, similar to Michael Crichton novels do. However, some of them are downright absurd or are substitutes for poor description. For example, after describing a bedroom, we are given a diagram of it. Sorry, but a visual in this case should not substitute for poor description.

2. The Game, as it is called (which I personally think is a lame title), is not very well described to the reader. Readers are given as much information as the characters about it, and then we are left running around with the characters as they try to solve the code they are given.

3. Speaking of code, this competition involves 200 people under the age of 18 who excel in a variety of subjects and talents. There are mentions of a writer and a fine artist. Everything that happens in The Game is built around solving an extremely complex computer code. Yet only 2 of the 200 invited were invited because of their computer knowledge. Even if competitors whose skill sets were not touched by The Game, and they paired up with someone whose knowledge matched the material, just like the creators of The Game were anticipating, there is simply not enough competitors who have knowledge of code to even make this buyable.

4. Finally, no one who is competing for a fully funded lab and facility will compete as ethically as the characters in this book. And no one will ever be happy to lose a high stakes competition in the final twelve. Yet in the end, 8 of the 12 people are celebrating when there are only 4 winners. As reality televisions have shown us, even the most well grounded people resort to cheating, backstabbing, and manipulation in order to propel themselves over the top. I simply cannot believe that even a "bloodbath" is played out fairly nicely.

I tried really hard to love this book. There was so much promise, and through most of the book I had really high hopes that it would ramp up in intensity. Unfortunately, when it finally did, I have to step so carefully around the plot holes already there that I couldn't buy what was being sold. I wouldn't say I hated this book. When I looked past its flaws, the story was pretty engaging. Unfortunately, it didn't have the spirit that a book with its subject matter should have. ...more

Fun quick read! The pacing was quite fast, which I enjoyed. It almost read in a style of a movie, where the next clue or next plot point is dropped and the audience is taken along for the ride. I loved reading the challenges they had to do. Not knowing what they were talking about, I soon grew weary but nonetheless I was still curious and engaged in how they came to their answers. I love how the Game wasn't even the main plot because each character had their own motive in helping others or their own family. I just thought that made it so much more interesting than having this game take over their lives. Because it showed how important other aspects of their young lives really are.

I love that whole set of POC characters are literally from all over the world. Even the side characters, where one of them is from the Philippines. That made me happy being Filipino after all. I had one sore point of the book and I couldn't help but notice it. Out of the two main characters, Tundee was treated as well "different." I don't know if the broken English point of view was needed. Both Rex and Cai who are also people of colour did not have any broken English dialogue and thoughts so I don't know why Tunde needed that either. Just because he's from a village? Isn't that a bit racist after all? I don't know why he was just segregated like that. Maybe I'm just reading into it, but I didn't like that niggly feeling I got when I kept seeing it.

There are also so many great quotes that I couldn't help but pull. They were so memorable and I just thought they were much needed in our society today. The quote about the cure for cancer made me stop and think because even though I thought the same myself years ago, I was still taken aback it was in a fictional novel.

The Game is an intelligent and enthralling read for young and old readers alike! You'll love how diverse the cast of characters are and how each have their own voice and story to tell.

RATING 3/5

QUOTES

"Knowledge expands freedom in all its forms. Knowledge breaks down walls. It liberates the oppressed. We are committed to knowledge. Knowledge as a hammer against classism, against sexism, against racism, against gender discrimination, against slavery, against bigotry, against war, against hatred. If there is darkness in the world, we will light it up."

"What if I told you there was a cure for cancer? That right now, there’s a molecule sitting in a lab at a pharmaceutical company in Europe that can effectively cure most gastrointestinal cancers? Thing is, the company won’t release it. Why? Because they also manufacture chemotherapy drugs, drugs that make them billions of dollars a year."

"Every revolution begins with action. Sometimes, people don’t realize what’s best for them until after it’s happened. Sometimes, they need a little push to get them to realize. They have to reach a tipping point. A situation that threatens the structure of their lives so profoundly, they have no choice but to embrace change." ...more

The concept of Genius: The Game (Genius #1) by Leopoldo Gout sounds pretty fantastic with high stakes and a diverse cast of characters. Plus, it's been a popular item at my library since it was released. I'd had my eye on it for quite some time since it looked like it had so much potential. Unfortunately, though, it just wasn't for me. My main complaint is that I had a tough time telling the difference between the four members of the main cast.

So here’s the thing…I didn’t hate this book, but I didn’t love it either. The ending kind of sucked and just left the story hanging. I really hate cliffhangers, especially if there’s no second book being published/talked about. I liked the characters for the most part, but I felt like I didn't really get to know them that well, other than their skills that got them into the Game. And the little more besides their skills that I did get to know about Rex, Tunde, and Painted Wolf, I felt unsatisfied with the lack of closure.

The different cultures and POVs were overall interesting, and the Game concept was also cool. But the Game felt a little anti-climactic. There were only a couple challenges. I figured they’d be run through a lot of challenges, narrowing down the competitors slower than they did, especially with how much the company paid to get all these people to the Game. The Game seemed like a big waste of money.

The other problems that Rex, Tunde, and Painted Wolf faced were just left incomplete by the end of the book. The one thing that took up a lot of Tunde’s POV/time with the warlord was kind of resolved, but I wanted to see it play out more. I felt like you didn’t get closure with that situation. I wanted to see what happened with Painted Wolf next after the Game, especially with what team she ended up on and how they did. I wanted to see what happened with Rex after the end. There was a twist towards the end of the book that just had me staring. It felt so out of place, and weird. I just wanted…more. I did like the hint of romance that was weaved into the story a little bit.

Final note: It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either, in my opinion. I think there could have been a lot more of the Game. I really wanted more closure on what happened with Rex, Painted Wolf, and Tunde. Hardcore sci-fi fans might like this more than me. ...more

I think the most adequate adjective to describe this book was disappointing? The premise wasn’t super original or creative but it sounded interesting enough. And although I do appreciate a few aspects of this book, the execution was just sloppy. The writing style was very juvenile and borderline cheesy, and the main characters have little to no (or at least extremely one-dimensional and predictable) characterization, and the side characters might as well be cardboard cutouts.

I borrowed this from my local Little Library some time ago because 1) it looked interesting and 2) I can't just NOT borrow books with shiny covers. Too tempting. Haven't had the mental strength to give it a go til recently, and even though it wasn't my favorite, I'm glad I finally tried it. Not exactly my style, but hey, genius characters are always fun.

PT: books with additional media (photographs, diagrams, etc), black cover books, books I’ve been ignoring on my shelf for too long and that I decided I need to *actually* read instead of just staring at them longingly.

What I Liked
1) ZOO producer!! Neat! Always cool to find connections to some of my favorite media.
2) art on the pages. Part of the PT for additional media on pages. It really added a lot of dimension to each character's personality and narrative. Didn't expect that! An interesting trick to keep in mind.
3) Diverse geography (and culturally diff characters). GEOGRAPHY!!!! Tunde's from Nigeria, Painted Wolf is from Shanghai, and Rex is from California. I ADORE when authors utilize geography and culture to enhance character narratives. C'EST MAGNIFIQUE.
4) Stanford summer camp vibes. Gave me flashbacks to my 2014 summer spent at Stanford with all those intimidating genius kids. Good god, the ANXIETY. I was able to uniquely relate to the general setting of the game itself.
5) diagrams!! related to 2. The diagrams holy moly! The *effort* that went into making each diagram...wow. WOW. Credit to Gout for taking his time on those. They really forced me to slow down in my reading. They were so detailed and *clean* that I couldn't just ignore them. They demanded attention.

What I Didn't Like
1) no attachment to characters. Counter to 4: while I could relate to the setting and (some) of the circumstances the characters faced, the entire book was written with such severe analytical detachment that I didn't connect to anyone. I cared about their backgrounds and I didn't exactly *want* them to die, but much of their personalities and relationships were lost in the hustle of the multi-faceted plot.
2) both too much and not enough exposition. (Too many threads to follow for right under 300 pages). RE multi-faceted plot. My GOODNESS did Leopoldo have a lot of ideas for this book. It felt like he had the general outline for three very separate characters and he threw them all together into one plot. The beginning reads like a third draft for each character- too many extraneous details that ultimately didn't matter and didn't help establish the characters. The end attempted to tie several loose threads of exposition but fell flat for me overall. Leopoldo didn't assign weight to events like I would've preferred. The important events were rushed or brushed over. The extra plotlines became unrecognizable in their entanglement with the others and lost a lot of their meaning. In short, there was just too much going on in too few pages.
3) lingo without definition/lacking in full context clues. I didn't know many of the words Tunde casually threw into his chapters. This would be fine, and would in fact be a plus, IF definitions had been provided ANYWHERE in the book. The words were not ones that could (or SHOULD) have to be inferenced. The use was...irregular. Important phrases were disguised in a language I couldn't read but didn't care enough to look up.
4) weak OTP. I didn't care about them at all. Related to 1).
5) weird scene partitioning. Why devote so many words to circumstances undeserving of many words? And why not cover the most important content with more words overall. I’m not talking about being overly verbose. I’d just like to feel like the important plot points are haphazardly thrown in without much establishment. The points of the story that were meant to be the Big Important Culminating Points were underdeveloped and a little confusing at times. Related to 2) ...more

Leopoldo Gout's "Genius: The Game" was a great book that kept me intrigued my entire time reading it. I would highly recommend reading this novel. I read the Advance Reader's Edition released in 2016. Leopoldo Gout is better known for his work in the film industry rather than writing books. His use of illustrations was enjoyable but they could be overwhelming at times. By switching the point of view between characters each chapter, I felt it was easier to follow.

His use of illustrations was enjoyable but they could be overwhelming at times. By switching the point of view between characters each chapter, I felt it was easier to follow.
The genre of this book is adventure. It follows the main plot line centered around three characters but each character has their own issue to face. Multiple chapters are spent developing the characters and introducing their relationship to each other. I felt that they were not overly developed but they were developed enough for the reader to understand their actions. Due to the fact that the characters are from around the world, it may be possible to relate to one character, but hard to relate to any more than one. I think background knowledge on the native language used by a character named Tunde would be useful. The plot may not be completely original but it has unique parts. It is similar to other books such as "The Vault of Dreamers" by Caragh O'Brien and "The Testing" by Joelle Charbonneau in the way that a group of young individuals is selected for testing because they are seen as gifted. The plot can be predictable knowing the situation the three protagonists are in. Geography is important in developing the plot. The individuals selected to compete in "The Game" are selected from around the world. This book is different from other books written by Gout. Unlike many of his other books, this book features no supernatural beings or otherworldly creatures.
It might be useful to know before reading this book that poverty in Africa is mentioned and plays a role in developing one of the characters backgrounds. The main point or message of this story is to prove that no matter age, race, gender, wealth, or location anyone can impact the world. I would recommend this book to the young adult age group. I think any level high school student could read and enjoy this book. It is easy enough to follow and much of the technical ideas mentioned could be intriguing to advanced high school students. I enjoyed this book so much that I plan on reading the sequel by Leopoldo Gout, "Genius: The Con." ...more

Quotes from Genius: The Game

“To Learn is to create. Learning- whether it is programming, mathematics, art, music, poetry, biology, or chemistry- is all about breaking down walls and freeing the one thing that kept us alive: knowledge.

Knowledge expands freedom in all its forms. Knowledge breaks down walls. It liberates the oppressed. We are committed to knowledge.
