Compared to the previous book I read, the tone and atmosphere is a bit less serious. Nevertheless it's an enjoyable book that's easy to keep reading. Lots of small-town relationship drama in a contemporary setting.

I started reading this book as I needed something to read, and my wife recommended it to me. It was better than I expected even! Draws you in quite easily, makes you want to know more, and whilst I was expecting plot twists, I could not have anticipated the story as it unfolded. The few technical details that are in there are pretty factually correct too, which I can appreciate, as many stories neglect that which can be distracting if you know the subject matter. Easy to pick up and an enticing read that I can recommend, and I'm saying that as someone who's long past being a young adult.

If you liked Ready Player One for all it's geeky 80's references and the OASIS, you'll likely appreciate this book as well. It's nothing ground-breaking, but a very enjoyable read if you liked the style of RPO. I certainly liked this book better, than the film-adaption of RPO, it feels true to the earlier established universe. There are some common tropes and some bits can be predictable, but I was also pleasantly surprised in some sections and I'm happy with its ending.

One of, if not the best sci-fi book I've read in recent years! Great story, well backed-up science-fiction, and just an exciting read overall.
