Vee - I understand why she signed up for the game and I liked to watch how she became more confident thanks these dares. But her overthinking was annoying and sometimes I didn’t understand why she acted the way she did (why she cried in the coffee shop while she was singing?). Honestly, this book felt a little like a therapy session at times (namely in the first 2/3s). I don’t mind hearing about a friend's personal therapy experiences, but I’m not as interested in a strangers. I think therapy is something most folks will need at some point in their lives. I certainly have found it useful.

Despite all of that, it was the plotline that ruined Nerve for me. I assumed this book was going to be a thriller. While it desperately tried to be, especially in the second half, it fell flat. I didn’t like how the game, NERVE, was portrayed. It didn’t feel like a legitimate threat at all! There was no sense of urgency surrounding the dares. They weren’t even dangerous, just mildly embarrassing. The final scene tried to up the stakes but it felt… I don’t know, weird. It was so random, I could not fathom why anyone was participating. The ending was the icing on the cake. It was awful.

The team stated that the fast-changing nature of the Internet made it a tough subject to make a narrative feature about, with Joost noting that the app Periscope came out during the film development, which Joost called "like half-way to being Nerve". [5] Vee and Ian complete a series of riskier and more lucrative dares and make their way to the final round, where they compete against five other finalists. Vee flubs a dare early in the finals, so later on, the game arms the contestants and tries to spook them into shooting each other, Tommy, or Vee's best friend Sydney, whom the game organizers have kidnapped and thrown into the room. Tommy tells Vee to stall; before his kidnapping, he has managed to call the police. Taking place in what seems like not too far into the future as the technology is a bit more than what we have yet but getting pretty close this seems to be something that may come up in our reality obsessed society. Some of the book too seems to serve as a reminder of just how much can be found out about someone from just social media and online presence.

I know when I just meet some dude and get paired up to do dares like “pretend you’re a prostitute” in a bad neighborhood I am ONLY going to be thinking how I’d like to cram my tongue down that rando’s throat. That’s probably just me, though. Anyway, definitely not the worst thing I’ve ever read and has the possibility of making a decent transition to the big screen . . .

Retrieved January 10, 2016. Overall, it’s fast paced read, some things I enjoyed, some of them not. It is not one of my favorite books but I think I will re-read it some day. The prologue explains the situation of Abigail, a winner from the March games (likely in Richmond) who escapes to a state park to avoid the paparazzi. Tired of fame, she fails to realize a stalker followed her into the woods, and must jump down a waterfall to avoid getting kidnapped at gunpoint by her crazed fan. Abigail is referenced several times later in the novel, but most of the characters believe she staged the trip for attention, until they realize the true horrors of the game from which she was trying to escape.On the Set for 6/15/15: Martin Scorsese Starts Shooting "Free Fire", Matthew McConaughey Finishes "Free State of Jones" & More".

But is it really? People do dangerous stuff, crazy stuff and dares etc. just to get views on YouTube. Is it really hard to imagine them doing the same stuff to get the prizes they most want? Overall? I didn't enjoy a single aspect of this book. The characters were so bland I couldn't muster the energy to remember their names. The romance was underdeveloped and the plotline was weak. The dares were cringe-worthy, rather than thrilling. I got no sense of urgency or suspense. It was boring and poorly written. I don’t think I’d bother with anything else this author has written. I am highly skeptical regarding the validity Mr. Rosenberg's assumptions. It is well know that there are experimenter biases in regards to comparing the before and after measurements with observation and palpation. Because of this practitioners and massage therapists are convinced that they always get positive results. What's left, then? A senseless book about a cast of senseless characters making senseless decisions throughout. Behold: Nerve.

I still can't figure out why so many of these dares surrounded nudity or sex. One I could overlook and be like "fair enough" but 3 of the 5 dares in this book are sleazy as hell, especially when we consider that the main character is 17 and is being put in positions where she can be sexualised by men of undisclosed ages. All of which would be totally fine if the book was trying to make a point about sexualising underage girls but it's literally just for entertainment purposes and to make the dares "high stakes" which once again... they were not. The prizes weren't all that great either.I have been trying his method to turn the Vagus Nerve on with most all of my patients (and with my son). After following his precise instructions to perform the Basic Exercise (over the last 4 weeks) I have to say that I am disappointed in the results. I have not seen a big change in the uvula lift in most all of my patients (maybe I didn’t get them to yawn enough times).

Validity in what the author suggests in the book would be the following: If an individual passes the uvula test, then he/she should not have any of the chronic problems the author lists (e.g., my son’s autism is therefore cured) because the ventral vagus is active.
