Honestly I’m writing this while I’m still reading this book because I want to procrastinate as much as I can, having made it through half the book in less than 2 days, I don’t want this book to get over.(Serious book hangover fears here!)
For someone who had a taste of American 80s pop culture in their youth, this book will hit your nostalgia vein with references to everything American 80s like the movies Tron, Back to the Future; the music like the iconic "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" and of course the contemporarily deemed "ANCIENT’ gaming consoles like the Atari 2600. If you’re a geek and love to go back to where the world of gaming began, progressing to how it evolved and where it will possibly reach in the near future then this is the book for you! Leave behind you World of Warcrafts and your DOTAs for now or read this and game.
You won’t regret sharing a friendship with Parzival(aka Wade 3/Wade Watts) in a world which a critic rightly calls "Willy Wonka meets the Matrix"!
