This book really picked up at around 25%. Really liking it now. Very slow, boring start though.

Ok. I'm loving this book. So, I'm going to wait until I finish my other book. Makes total sense right? hehe. Really, there is logic in my weird thinking. I just want to read this book all at once. It's that good.

"..need to stop acting like a little girl --wah- wah, I was bitten, my life sucks so bad. All of our lives suck right now, okay? You might think yours is an extra special sparkly rainbow unicorn fart type of suck, but it's not. Just get on with it! Throw that stupid useless eyeball away and get on with it!" .... best motivational speech EVER! LOL

Total love/hate relationship with this book.

I like artemis or should I say Art3mis? The book, after a really weird info-dump type of start, has really picked up.

I will not skip the other character's POV but boy am I tempted!!!!!!

yeah!!! I see hints of a plot!!!

I HAVE to stop trying to just read a first few pages of a book. Now I must continue with this one.

I love all the nostalgia BUT the book is lacking something. It feels lke it is just the author showing his knowledge of gaming and the 80's via the character's voice. There seems to be no real conflict other than winning the game/money.

I absolutely love Nora and Bram's chapters but I get annoyed with the other POV's to the point of setting the book down. I'm only at halfway point and it feels like I've been reading this forever.

Anyone want a moody almost-15 year old? I'll trade for a toddler, hell, I'll trade for a newborn at this point! GRRRR!

Bram & Nora- great characters. I wish we'd focus on just their POV.

Swordquest! I loved Atari!

info dump. blah, blah, blah info dump. blah, blah, blah... I've heard enough about the world, put a bit of plot in, I'm gonna be patient. Since I'm SOOOO patient with my books.

"'How is telling her the truth disrespectufl? It's not like I enjoy introducing myself as a creature from beyond the grave.' I desperately wanted to roll my eyes, but we were discouraged from doing so. The muscles around the eyes are always some of the first to go."

OMG... My hubby is a game programmer. He used to put little love notes in his programming to me (yes, you may gag). I'm also a child of the 80's. Why did I wait so long to read this book? Why? huh? I'm a fool.

Love the characters in this book. I haven't been too picky about the world building (it could be flawed, full of holes...who knows) since I've been too into the story. Call me a hypocrite. I know.

It is FATE! I get to the point where the parents come off the plane and then.... my audibook screeches and I can't hear anything else. I was thinking it was my MP3. I went to my computer download of the book and the same thing. So, after disliking the book overall, I'll never know what happened after the parents got off the plane!! LOL.. fate I tell you!

I'm at work. I've been at work ALL DAY. I'm about ready to cry buckets but now I'm just whining. Anyhow, no reading time for me.....

No twist on who the bad guy is? I saw this one coming from the beginning. Oh well.

What is wrong with me!! I can't stop playing with the Gumby and Pokey "Google" stop-motion clay-animation.

Is it bad when you keep looking at your Mp3 to see how much you have left in the story? At least SOMETHING is happening in the story. It's a "little" something but it is kinda cute.

"They were men. They looked like men, at least -human- but like people who had been dead for months, years, in all stages of decay- flesh hanging limply off limbs, bones exposed..." ahhh, how I missed my zombies.

start tomorrow.

I almost stopped listening to this audiobook. The only reason I didn't? I don't know what audiobook to listen to next. I want something to knock my socks off and until then, I'll stick with this. Any suggestion on a knock-my-socks-off audiobook. I don't care the genre, just want something so damn good that I will worship the ground you walk on for recommending it!

this book is boring. I just want them to have sex already. jeez. The mystery element is slow to develop, the banter is not as funny as it could be (a few very funny lines but alot of not-so-funny lines).

Why is she not freaked out that he is potentially a werewolf?

This is not bad but also really, not as funny as I had hoped it would be. It's kinda, we'll.. I guess boring or just not interesting enough to engage me. I keep forgetting I even have the audiobook on since I end up more entertained by the stuff around me instead of the audiobook.

I've never read any Wasserman before. If ANY of her other books are like this one, I'm going to get the book ASAP!
