Realmente gostei deste livro, especialmente de toda a atmosfera da competição e do jogo. Adorei o grupinho dos 4 personagens, tanto na vida real como virtual.

Estou muito curiosa com o filme que vem por aí!

I have finally come to terms with the fact that I'm simply not a sci fi fan (shocking really as I love Fantasy). I skimmed through quite a bit of this particularly details about quests and teleportations and other things I have no interest in.

This book is one of my faves this year. I had seen the movie prior to reading the book and still enjoyed the story.
I honestly loved this.
Sure, as a child of the 80s, the pop culture references hit me where I live. I'm also a gamer, so yeah, I'm sure I fit squarely into the perfect audience for this book.
But above and beyond all that, I just loved it. It was sad, and thrilling, and hopeful, and so many other things. It was also a bit frightening... this picture of the future, I feel like we're a teeny half-step away from that. I could see this being our world. I could see it happening within my lifetime.

Took a few chapters to get into it, once in I galloped through it. Loved the story, the characters, the 80s and gaming references.
