(I also feel like the author was suffering from the same kind of disease John Green suffers from on occasion: the "no-one-in-their-right-mind-talks-like-this-in-real-life-itis". Stop making what are supposed to be college-aged adults talk like 19th century poets, please, it's incredibly disconcerting.)
That being said, the writing style is lovely, even if parts of it were a bit too overly complicated for my tastes. It's a fascinating look into the process that goes into making video games, and some of the more philosophical parts of the book were enough to grab my attention and hold it. Marx was really the only consistently likeable character for me, and
All in all, it wasn't a book that I had to fight my way through and was still an enjoyable read, but at the same time I can't quite see it as anything to rave about.
