Robin reviewed Armada by Ernest Cline
Review of 'Armada' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This was a fun, easy read. Perfect for a lazy long weekend. This said, it's lacking in quite a few dimensions. It's trying to do the same nostalgia-pop trip that RP1 did, but here it feels more bolted onto the side than part of the story, and a lot of what does come up becomes kinda repetitive with the amount of times you see it. The characters are all a bit too one-dimensional, the main ones having one or two aspects to define their whole personality, and the secondary ones being little more than a catch-phrase. I don't regret reading it, and I did stay up well past my bedtime due to it. It has a good plot idea and story going on. But it could have been a fair bit more.
