If you like video games, arcade games, the eighties, or dystopian science fiction, you should definitely read this book. As a person who likes all four I can honestly say it is one of the most enjoyable reads I've had this year. At points I found myself wanting to put it down and savor it but as I finished in less than three days clearly that didn't work. I'd say this book is on the border between Young Adult and Adult books. You could argue some of the characterizations might be a little weak or too stereotypical for straight adult fiction, but the reality is that if you accept this as a YA or border book all those weaknesses go away and you are left with one hell of an enjoyable story. Again, this book hit on multiple favorite topics of mine, thus the five stars. That said, I have a hard time imagining anyone who is looking for an enjoyable read, and meets the criteria at the begining of the review, not really liking this book.

A great blend of cyber and traditional thriller genres. Be aware you may have to play an MMO while you read.
