Raymond Mathiesen (raymondmathiesen) | 3 comments Book Review of Backward Compatible: A Geek Love Story by Sara Daltry and Pete Clark
Reviewed by Raymond Mathiesen
4 out of 5 stars

Backward Compatible by Sarah Daltry

Is there someone for everyone? Even me?

Time is passing and the Y Generation have now become young adults. During this social period computers and the Internet have become household items, at least in the Upper and Middle classes. Online gaming has now become a subculture complete with language, social activities and dress. The word 'geek' has become more a description of an alternate subculture than a derogatory term. Daltry and Clarke take us on a wacky trip into the world of computer geeks, as they follow the hectic lives of Katie Garretty and George Lindell. Will this young woman and man come together in a sweet romance, or will they be doomed to remain single forever? Does being a computer geek mean you can never have self-respect, or can these young people grow in self-confidence? Will the pair ever battle their way to the end of Fatal Destiny, the game which dominates their young lives? Backward Compatible is a romantic comedy that will entertain those who enjoy reading New Adult or Young Adult fiction.

So I just finished reading Vendetta (Blood for Blood, #1) by Catherine Doyle . I loved it! It's got love, friendship, family, drama, mystery and suspense all wrapped up in one YA book.

I haven't read it yet, it's on my list to-read. I was just replying to Itsmee222 who was reading it. I've read books where I'm torn between wanting to finish and keep on reading and I can imagine that book to be like that. Let us know what you thought of It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini Itsmee222.

I'm starting Gus (Bright Side, #2) by Kim Holden our buddy read today and can't wait!!

Sooo... I've finished it yesterday and I have to say that I really liked it. You know these books that are just comforting and make you feel like everything is okay (or at least gonna be okay)? It's one of those. You can see the caracters' development. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm sure I will soon.
