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.

I enjoyed 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.

I said it once before: "meet "80s memes the dystopian scifi book"



I really wanted to like it, but not because it's an actually good book (in fact the writing could be better and the story isn't surprising at all - after the introduction of the characters, everybody will know how that book is ending), but because it's a well optimized meme collection with exactly the story elements that tend to sell well.



No, the dystopian megacorp doesn't win against the highly enthusiastic teenager.

Also that Girl he's crazy about, who doesn't want him because of the central conflict? Yeah, you know what'll hapen after the conflict is going to be resolved.



There's not even remotely relevant side-characters dying - at least nobody anyone would care about.



So... is this a bad book? No, it's a highly entertaining one. But not great literature.

A great nostalgic romp through the past, the present and, perhaps a not too distant future. It points out what's wrong with our global culture today in a way that brings back the hope we had growing up in the 70's and 80's. It reinvigorates a faith in the goodness of humanity in spite of our current mistakes and failings. And it points out the absolute value of charity towards one another. And it shows how we know all this; we learned it all growing up but forgot it being part of the rat race or being run over by it.

It's full of Easter eggs from pop culture and the best ones are those he brings up without pointing them out, leaving the reader to notice them.

For anyone who is nostalgic about the late 70's and 80's and the tabletop role-playing game that spawned many others and computer …
