Hmmm. I enjoyed this but I think there's a few chapters that could've gone and if wouldn't be detrimental to the story as a whole.

Loved most of the 80's references but some stuff was a little too detailed and I had to stop myself from scanning portions of it.

Solid 3.5 stars. May give it a re-read in a few months to see if I change my rating.

I have glanced over the cover of the book dozens of times. The cover with the picture on it (not the one with just the title). I never saw what it was until I was half way through and I was like omg, how did I miss that it was stacks of mobile homes!!

I loved this book. This was the kind of book that I couldn't wait to get back to because I needed to know what was going to happen. What really got to me was how horrifyingly believable this dystopian world was. I'm sorry I waited so long to read.

A great read. Those who didn't play video games growing up in the 80s and early 90s may not appreciate this book. If you did play video games during that time period, you're going to love it. So much nostalgia, so many references to the oldies and goodies. A fun read :) ...more

Very good book. It had a lot of action, and most of the book had me at the edge of my seat. I loved the friendship that we see between Aech and Parzival, I am inspired by all the research and work the gunters, especially some of our heroes, put into the hunt for the egg. Just an all around feel good entertaining read.

Lots of fun, particularly for true fans of 80s pop culture and video game references.

I should have read the book before the movie. I liked the movie better 🤷🏼‍♀️
