This book is about kid nicknamed Yip who creates a character on his computer. This isn't any old character-this one is almost human. The trouble begins when Yip pulls Victor (the character) out of the computer. Victor is very, very, VERY smart and handsome. Although Victor doesn't let Yip know it, he actually isn't his friend and Yip has no power over Victor. Victor can morph himself into any character. Victor morphed himself into a grown man and robbed a bank. The bad thing is Victor morphed himself into himself again and the police can't catch him. Worse than that, Victor doesn't have a conscience and doesn't care he did something wrong. Then he tells Yip he is going to Washington to do some buisness. He won't tell Yip why. Yip finds out that Victor is going on the same day the president is making a speech. And Victor has the power to kidnap the president and take over! None of the ways Yip can think of to delete or destroy Victor works! Yip thinks there is no help. But then...

"Virtualy Perfect" is the story of a family that moves into a town that has movie companies near it. Yip the teenager is a "nerd". His sister Paige is popular. The grandfather is a retired special effects artist or F/X who worked in the 1930s and 1940s on movies. Yips mom makes the best cookies in town. His dad is a special effects artist also, but he uses computers, the technology of the 1990s.

One day Yip comes home to find blood spots on the floor and a arm sticking out side of the living room door. He walks over to find his grandfather on the floor with a knife in his back. He was scared; he went for the phone when his grandfather jumped up and scared him. He was doing one of his special effects acts.The grandfather and his dad always argue over which F/X is better computers or live stunts,the grandfather proved his F/X is better,

One day Yip decides that he wants to create an actual computer person. So, he creates a person that looks, talks and walks like a real person. He names it Victor. Victor jumped out of the screen and Yip and Victor became friends.

After awhile Victor becomes very different. His face starts changing shapes. And he starts doing crazy stuff. He robed a bank of thirty thousand dollars and puts it in a mailbox and leaves it. Then he starts kissing girls just for the fun of it. Yip became fed up with him and decided to get rid of him.

Finally, Victor and Yip came home to find blood on the floor and an arm outside the door. Victor goe over and sees the grandfather on the floor bleeding. Victor reaches for the phone and dials 911. Victor has a short circuit and is froze. Yip pours water on him and he blew him up. Fireballs were all over the place like fireworks on the 4th of July.

I like this book because i like scientific movies and novels. And a computer generated person jumping out of a screen is pretty scientific.

Further more this is my review on the book Virtualy Perfecy.

The book was about a kid who made a computer generated person, and it came to life and tried to ruin everyone else's life. I thought it was a good book, it needed more action, and adventure in it thought, because it got kind of boring at the end. I would reccomend this book for ages under 14.

This book is called Virtually Perfect. The main character is a 12-year-old dorky kid named Yip. Yip's dad is a special effects in the movie business. One day Yip's dads brought home a new computer software were you could create a virtual actor or Vactor. Yip decides to test it out by making a Vactor called Victor. Victor thinks he can step out of the computer screen and become a real person and he does. Victor has a sharp look and he looks very athletic but when he steps out of the computer and shows a few flaws. He has no conscience or a long memory. Victor is created by Yip and he got help from his older sister who thinks he is weird. Victor causes a few problems but Yip finally pulls the plugs on Victor's life. I like how the author uses descriptive words and I don't like how things are repeated. This book is aimed towards to computer lovers and ages 9 - 12. This book describes how we humans can become to connected to the computer and how advanced technology is advanced. Also the also he has written a good piece because I love to explore computer software and technology.

"All I wanted was a friend." Is statement in the book called Virtually Perfect by Dan Gutman. Yip was new in town. He was also lonely, so he created a vactor to be his friend. His dad was a video director. He came in with a huge box called a "vax" short for vactor program. He claimed the vax made an exact replica of the person, so the movie directors wouldn't have to pay stunt people.
Yip tested the vactor by making a replica of himself. Yip was 5ft tall,[...], and lived in a small town outside of New York. There was not much activity there. Yip named the vactor Victor. He looked like a nerd because Yip had no fashion. Then his sister helped him because she was really good at art. Now he looked like one of those popular kids at school.
This book has tons of technology so if you like technology you should read this book. It also has some jokes in it. I love this book, it is one of the best books I have read by Dan Gutman.

Being a fan of SIMS games, I had to give this book a look.

Yip and Paige Turner create a virtual boy on a simulation program and he becomes...well, real.I mean, as real as a simulated boy could be.(Actually a little more real than that, because this is -after all- a sci-fi novel)

Victor....the name Paige gave him.....longs to see the real world and easily steps out of the computer screen, after promising to be Yips' friend.

But it isn't long before Victor becomes trouble.A whole lot of trouble.He is intelligent but soul less. (Not a good combination) and he does not have a conscience.....

Now Yip has no idea how to delete Virtual Victor!

I found this book a great book for all ages, I read this book, im 13 and i enjoyed it, some parts were a little childish but i found it to be an all around good book. Also i got my younger sister, Kelly, to read it, shes 10. She also enjoyed the book and read it with much enthousiasm.

In this thrilling tale, 12 year old Yip uses his dad's computer to create a virtual human named Victor. However, Yip has other things in mind beside being Yip's friend... read to find out in this excellent story!

I liked this book. It is about a kid named Yip who creates a virtual charector on his dads software with the help of his sister. This virtual kid, whom Yip and Page Victor, is very smart and (thanks to Paige) good-looking. Victor can talk, see through the screen, and hear. Because he is so smart, Victor figures out how to get out of the computer into the real world with Yip's help. (not a good idea, on Yip's part) It seemed that Victor is perfect. But thanks to Paige, he has no conscience. (Paige deleted some books on right and wrong to make room for his good looks)What will he do, released in the real world?

I like this book because you never know what is going to happen next. For example, at the end of a chapter they or the author leaves you hanging and there is one that I can remember. The one that I remember is when the boy came back from school. After he was on his dad's software that could make up pictures of people that were used I liked this book because you never know what is going in a movie and after he had left the computer a hand stuck out. I also think that this book was very exciting because it is about a kid who gets a new computer program but when he finds out that the person that he makes comes out of the computer all
