A review by dromwald
Armada by Ernest Cline

4.0

Ready Player One blew me away because of it's originality and nostalgia (For me at least as a gamer who first started gaming in the 80s) - I have to confess to being a little nervous that Armada wouldn't live up to my expectations but actually I enjoyed it almost as much as Ready Player One. It too has humour, a gripping storyline and some great cultural references (Again, for me at least). I really like some of the main characters and supporting cast but some of the American gung ho schoolboy saluting anything that moves 'Sir, yes sir!' type of thing left me a bit cold - maybe old age has left me a bit cynical...

Overall though I wasn't dissappointed and it will be interesting to see if a sequel is on the way
