I was amazingly enthralled by this book which at times felt more like a piece of fiction than a piece of non-fiction. I think this was really well written. My only real problem with it was the Hellsmouth section towards the end which was a section written regarding the Columbine Shootings. While certainly it wasn't bad that it was included, considering that it had little to do with the two main people in the book, Jesse and Eric, it actually detracted from the overall story. I think it would have worked better as an epilogue or an appendix of some sort. Related to the story, but not part of it. That it was near the end didn't help on this. I ended up reading the first third of the section and then skipping the rest once I figured out it had nothing to do with the story.

Overall good story though, I couldn't help but feel connected to both Eric & Jesse. I feel very similar to both of them in different ways. It was a very good read, especially for anyone who is a geek or might be interested in hearing about geeks.
