A review by protoman21
Armada by Ernest Cline

4.0

Warning, there is nothing believable about this story. It is basically a collection of science fiction tropes thrown together in a big messy mess. I could appreciate certain aspects of the plot and the story, but I never connected with Zack because he is pretty two dimensional, despite his family issues.

There is definitely a lot of hit or miss. Some of the plot elements were fun, but sometimes the action scenes fell flat or Zack was annoying. I definitely wanted this book to be better than it turned out to be, but I still enjoyed the ride. It helped that Wil Wheaton read the audiobook.
