Story was compelling, but ultimately a bit disappointing. The narrator's stilted delivery didn't do it any favors.

A quick easy read. Obvious comparisons to Ready Player One, although this book is less of a fun romp, and has a much more convoluted ending (not necessarily in a good way).

I am not enough of a gamer to get into this book. Wasn’t feeling it. Don’t see myself going back.

After living through the actual Mr. Bungle fiasco on LambdaMOO I had no desire to think about it ever again, so thanks for that.

Plusses for being so heavily WoW-based but I thought it wasn't that inspired. I may like all of Ruff's other books more.

Oh yes, needed this.

Fun, suspenseful, kept me guessing long into story.
Plus, for any D&D, WOW, PC gamer, a call to home.
