3.0

This book was not for me. I was dragging it since the beginning and I only finished it because I skipped several parts. Although I love the 80´s nostalgia (I'm a huge Stranger Things fan, for example), and I really appreciate all the movies, shows and songs that are mentioned in this book I could not enjoy it as I was expecting. I'm not the biggest fan of computer games... maybe that's the reason.

Overall, I found the narrative quite tiring, very long and repetitive. The world described in this book is very depressing... On the other hand, I think that the author is very creative, and I did appreciate the overall storyline - that's the reason I give this book three stars.
