Totally, absolutely, kinda ok. This book was obviously written before his more famous, and better, Ready Player One. And it's just not as good. The characters are not well written at all, and the story is pretty dumb. It's got a hackneyed story line and is really just an opportunity for Cline to show off his deep knowledge of pop culture. Sure, I read the whole thing but I was traveling for work and brainless, just ok entertainment was what I needed. But honestly, it just wasn't that good.
