On rereading this I found a lot less satisfaction. Its a cute adventure.

A great story regarding a late teen engaging in a video game quest with real-world impact. Set in a dystopian future, the tale gives you a blend of a virtual world learing to positive and meaningful real-life changes.

The story is told with enthusiasm and gives you a great insight into a late teen learning there is more to life than a virtual world. It also teaches you persistance, may lead to mindblowing results.

Even though I didn't much like it, I did actually finish it, which is worth an extra star.

An enjoyable and quick read. Nostalgia is bound together by a fairly predictable plot line. I wanted to go back and create a playlist of all the music mentioned, but I borrowed the book from a co-worker and needed to return it.

To be honest it's been a while since I read the book so don't expect a full in depht review. Sorry.

I liked it, quite a lot indeed. I also enjoy playing video games and 90% of the action occours on a video game. I think that, as always, the book is quite superior compared to the movie.

In conclussion: I recomend it if you like cifi stuff.

Absolutely great book about the 80s, video games, movies, music and more. You will love it, even if you weren't part of that time.

Giving it a 5 for the experience.
At the beginning I felt dazed with the enormous amount of 80s references. Most movie, book and music references are interesting but sometimes it feels like the author is either trying too hard to please everyone or lean too much on the references themselves instead of describing things per se.
Once I got the character, where he lives and inhabits (different things) I got hooked.
I loved the RPG, VR and arcade mix. The love and friendship part worked for me too.
I can identify several parts with different vibes and rhythms. I feel like I know some of the universe, like I dreamed this before. A mix of Second Life with the Lawnmower Man, Matrix, Minority Report, Terminator 2...
