As crazy as it is, it reminds me so much of my early 20s in the early 2000s. Beautiful artwork.

It’s an odd book, I enjoyed it and hated it at the same time. Holden is an idiot and I found it hard to relate to him an his issues “It almost killed me”. I was torn about the writing style. It was very repetitive, but just as in Ready Player One this is the voice of the teenager that’s meant to come through.

If you want to read this, I highly recommend getting the audiobook. The narrator does an amazing job with all the voices so that you know exactly who’s talking to who. 
Although I really enjoyed this book, I’m not sure if I’ll continue with the series.
