Armada By Ernest Cline - Restarting July 28th 2018

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ I loved Ready Player One but I'm struggling to get into this one. The video game details are really a drag to get through. I don't think his dad was crazy though. Sucks that he never got to know him. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ I can't believe his dad was alive and was RedJive this whole time! I feel like Zack got over that shock WAY too quickly. I mean your dad had his death faked and is ALIVE?! But at least he's kind of been a part of his life all of this time. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 21 (view spoiler)[ Graham and Shin dying was devastating :( But since they're the Three Musketeers it gives me a lot of concern about Zack's dad. But at least they died heroically. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Okay sorry these aliens are evil. But also the world is pretty evil in that we can't solve conflicts without killing each other. Can a whole planet have a fatal flaw? (hide spoiler)]

Replying to Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ I'm also struggling to get through this because it is so detailed and it's not even close to necessary to have this detail. It's frustrating. I will also agree that he got over his dad being alive far too quickly. It's like Cline didn't even want to attempt to develop the character more. I'm just so bleh about this. (hide spoiler)]

Finished... (view spoiler)[ I love there is a Jr. I also hated that his father died and seriously what was all that about a "test" ? I think Zack should trust his instinct I also think there is more to that delegate or whatever that alien is... (hide spoiler)]

Reply to comments:
Ch 13: Yeah way too quickly, but he is also quick to anger though.
Ch: 21: I hated that part special since one of those guys sister was killed too...
Fin: Yea, hopefully they learned something.

Yeah maybe, but even after finishing it there wasn't a lot of information given about the characters.

Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm not entirely sure what to think about this book other than I'm glad it's over. I'm upset that I didn't enjoy it as much as the rest of y'all did. (hide spoiler)]
