This book seems to be one everyone loved, but I found myself being more frustrated than entertained. I thought Marx was an incredible character: stead-fast and true. Sam was flawed, but endearing. I thought Sadie was unlikable. Her attitude toward Sam seemed unexplainable at times and cruel.

I loved the idea of the gaming world being the setting of this book. Also how the games helped enhance the narrative. I also thought that the words were beautifully written and I appreciated the commentary about the world at large.

But I think as a whole, once Sadie decided Sam couldn't be trusted and completely stopped communicating with him, I lost interest.
