The Memory Wall was one of the best books that I have ever read in my life. The book is about a boy whose life is difficult. His mom has Alzheimer’s and his dad works most of the day. His mom is going to be moved to a nursing center. Nick, the main character, gets a new video game. The game transports him from the real world to the game world. The book has the two perspectives. The one perspective about his normal life being difficult, where his mom is starting to forget him and his dad is never there for him. The other perspective is from the game, where Nick is a powerful elf that solves problems. If he could just solve his problems in real life and help his mom all would be good.
This book was great. I would highly suggest this book to people between the age of 11 and 15 or even older. I would keep this book, buy it, read it over and over, because it’s really great. It has its sad moments, but I think most readers will enjoy this book. While the book is sad and happy it is also adventure filled. You’ll understand it. It’s quite complicated to explain about the video game section. You’ll just have to read it to find out.
