I rarely indulge in promoting so-called "young authors" mainly because there are very few truly talented writers among them. But every once in a while I bump into something that sounds like music to the ears. It is my pleasure to introduce Andrei Kuzechkin and his latest novel "Young 4 Ever". I got so excited, that was reading for two days non-stop. Contemporary writing at its best. Written in fairly simple modern lingo, but not primitive. Enticing fresh plot - I got hooked from the very first page. And of course always good to be able to see what boys really think.

Issues 1 and 2 of Ural magazine published Andrei Kuzechkin's latest novel "Young 4 Ever" where we witness addiction of young people to life in virtual world. Our protagonist is a professional, multiple world champion in computer games, a legend in certain circles of gamers. He travels to a quiet small town and begins to enjoy life of "real" people. A safe town where he is not known. Nothing could possibly go wrong there as local community keeps everything in good order. But one fine day, he witnesses a suicide during a birthday party. He later discovers that this suicide was not the first in town. For some unexplained reason, young people were driven to commit suicide by the age of just twenty one years. This was the end of life for them.
