felienne reviewed Armada by Ernest Cline
Review of 'Armada' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Loved reading this book, even more than Ready Player One. Quick summary: boy plays a lot of videogames and really misses his bad. Turns out, the video game he was playing was actually training for a real war, in which his (not dead) father is an important general. Boy fights an epic fight, in which dad now really dies and the world is safe again.
Really engaging and sad at times (I really cried when the dad died!) but of course like RPO it is memberberries all around and has this 'Nemo/chosen one/suffering is always for a good cause' vibe.
