I loved this book! I'm so glad my daughter loaned it to me to read.

I was in my mid-20's in the 80's, so while not technically a child of that decade, I was pretty familiar with all of the music, movie and pop culture references throughout the story. Reading this brought back some fond memories.

The story had a good plot; I'd even call it a fun plot, that meshed well with the gaming subject matter. The characters were interesting and the dialogue was realistic. I've never been a gamer, but I know enough from friends who are and characters in other books, movies and TV shows to find myself able to follow along easily enough.

Highly recommended if you enjoy futuristic fantasy adventure science fiction mixed with a bit of magic!
