Off to Be the Wizard by Scorr Meyer

[Jessica]

I chose this book since I liked the pixelated cover, but I wasn't quite sure what it was about (even when I snuck a peek at the summary on the back).

Although it has some problems, it was entertaining at least :)

[Marta]

I found it very entertaining, too. It is fun and nerdy, no redeeming social value whatsoever. I liked it.

[Jessica]

Basically :)
The main character wasn't very likeable, but at least he starts becoming aware of it partway through and attempts to improve himself.
I really liked Gwen, just wish she was given more to do. (Maybe in the sequel? Doubtful, however)

I am a computer person so I identified with some of them... yeah, the main character had an ego issue but also some charm. I agree about Gwen! I think I might read the sequel when I feel like reading something light :)
