Slow to read, it took a while to get going and even then it was never super fast paced or anything.  The flashbacks are definitely the best part. I don’t think I would recommend this book to people who weren’t big readers.  I do like how the book wraps up though - very intentional and wraps up the story nicely. I think the weakest part of the book for me was the mystery. Not because it was bad, but because I have seen other books deal with
the sci-fi / online world trope
better and to greater effect. I think this is probably my fault for reading this book a decade after it came out. I am probably just ranking it unfairly against more modern books. Unfortunately there are some really cool modern books nowadays that deal with these topics and so this book can seem a bit weak in comparison.
