I liked the video games/80s references.

This book was great. I have no regrets reading it.

I wanted to read more books like it.

Happy... It is a science fiction fans dream.

The book is really good. It is a great action story with a nods towards classic video games and 80's / 90's culture. I really liked going through it very much.

This story is great. The Author really did a good job of depicting both the grim future the main character found himself growing up in and the fantasy virtual reality world that the character grew up in.

I was born in the 80s so I really appreciated all the cultural references that the story included related to earlier videogame culture. It was really fun to read.
