nah im so lazy (dont rat me out) sometimes i dont even look at the authors name, my bad lol(ohh im so in trouble)




I had a spreadsheet to before goodreads. But I have a blackberry and I don't think it will let me scan. I will have to check on that.




The book I'm looking for is for teens. The story is set in the future. It's about a girl who codes cheats for clients. These clients are for people who enter a game at the end of which is a giant reward I think the end of the game was called The Roots.They often die in the game which means they die in real life. You have to enter a cubicle kind of thing to start playing. So there is a guy who shows up, dark haired and skinny,and enters the game( her love interest if I remember right). He gets extra health and fights monsters, turned invisible on the map for a while etc. Anyway, final level was where he meets with his father and fights him but he had infinite health I think. There was some final clever thing he did and won. Another thing I remember is a client that showed up before, a beautiful woman that took the protagonist in the middle of the night to a scenic place with a great view od the night sky. She died (in the game I think) which was why the main girl wanted her cheat code to work so much and made for that guy.
Some more things I remember- the main girl used to be a top cheat-coder but lost her fame. She was taken in by a bunch of other coders, one of whom never talked. They were in hiding (from the govt.(?) ). One day an explosion occurred and a body flew out of a building and crashed onto the ground. They took the person in, but there were arguments about this decision (since they were in hiding).

My girlfriend read a translated version (from English) of the book between 1994 to 1999, meaning 16 to 21 years ago. She loved the book, but unfortunately doesn't remember much, not even if it had an happy ending.
Your ideas and thoughts would be highly appreciated.
I am a little shady on some parts but this is how it starts a girl sees her sister killed and then when her parents are so sucked up with grief they don't notice that she has run away....she then is an orphan and almost get molested by a man in some kind of kid home........anyway it goes on and on about her life and then she falls in love with this boy and the boys father comes to her and says you can't get married to him because I am your father and his but come to find out the mother of the son was not true to her husband and the son really isn't his but the girl is. Does anyone out there know what I am talking about?
