I loved it. The intersection of old and new; the mystery; the camaraderie...If you love a good mystery, books AND technology, this is a great read. My heart is happy having finished it.

A wonderful read.
Just...fantastic. I would recommend this to any reader, especially someone interested in timely (extremely contemporary), smart, light (not insubstantial, but the opposite of something dense or difficult) literary fiction. Thinking about just how contemporary this novel is...I wonder if it will feel dated in five years?
