Well, it draws inspiration from videogames but I find it more similar to Ready Player One by Ernest Clyne than SAO. It also borrows from old school cyberpunk titles like William Gibson's Sprawl/Bridge trilogies books. And it reminds me of Tron movies too.
Kuruneku
Sound like another Hunger Games modus operandi to me.
Matthew
I would say yes.
Nathan
it does sound like SAO. It sounds like gun gale with the masked gunman who terrorizes everyone and kills people inside the game. I feel as if Michael is Kirito and Kaine is the masked gunman.
Quinn
Never read or watched SAO(Though it's on my to-watch list) but it seems similar in setting(Cyber-terrorism, VR games, etc.)
Faisal
Pretty much the gun gale online story.
Miles Masters
Yes, pretty much with all the cyber terrorism and virtual reality of SAO I.
Ava
Its basically how everybody imagines the future-- a virtual world built to escape reality.
Meg
I totally agree with you. They are pretty similar and both are great. So glad I picked this one up.
Lara Strauss
It sounds like SAO <3

I just heard about this book and it sounds a lot like SAO to me.
Yell Mae
After reading the first part, all I can think is SAO.
David
All I could think of when reading it last night, (yes, I finished it in a few hours... It is a good, quick and fun read) was how much like .Hack or SAO it was. Seriously. A strange cross between SAO and .Hack with a bit of The Matrix thrown in for good measure. Very fun ride!
While comparing any of those is like comparing apples and oranges... I hope you get an idea of what type of book you are in for. If you like SAO you WILL enjoy The Eye Of Minds!

Just started reading the book and it is a lot like SAO (2).

Funny that you ask that, I love Sword Art Online. I haven't read the light novels for SAO, but I do watch the anime and there are many elements that are sort of the same, but many elements are different, especially one in particular. If you like SAO, in my opinion you will like this too.
I don't agree with Linda, you don't need to read The Maze Runner first. And I really don't think you can compare EOM to SAO, as they were meant for very different audiences. I like both and was entertained by this book. So give it a read.

Slightly. It's about a game alright.
Two things:
1. Read The Maze Runner first, if you (or whoever) are considering this book. If you can stand that book, go ahead. Otherwise, trash it. It's largely made of similar crap.
2. I'm not hugely into Sword Art Online, but I think The Eye of Minds can be simplified down to a crappier, more juvenile version of that.
