This book was good but was manly just setup for what the next books in this series are going to be like, and introducing us to our cast of cub reporters and setting for this teen adventure series. I liked the cast of characters that surrounded Lois but I really feel as if Bond left them by the wayside to focus on Lois and Clark's relationship (complete with online persona that has his iconic glasses no matter how illogical that is.) While I understand this is a Superman property, I've read enough stories with him that I understand what kind of character he is, so I was more interested in getting to know the others. But I hope this is due to how Lois is written as stand-offish and will need some time to get to know her compatriots in following novels.
Also the online world in my mind was rather silly and requires a lot of suspension of disbelief especially if you have some knowledge of how VR works.
However the book also had some aspects of what I liked in the Sammy Keyes series which I loved as a kid so reading this book was a nice nostalgia trip for me. I look forward to reading the next books.
