One of my favorite audiobooks; Will Wheaton reads it! Also, this is probably the nerdiest book ever. I'd recommend for folks who grew up in the 80s. I had one major problem with it until about chapter 30. I won't spoil it, but just say that I was satisfied by the end.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS. Seriously. This book was SO damn good. The only reason it took me so long to read is because I'm swamped at work. But honestly, I'm going to re-read this someday, because I'm going to buy it, because I liked it that much.
Excellent.
