Poor writing and a naïve plot. The book plays on nostalgia and emotions way too much. Moreover the amount of descriptions on games/movies/pop-culture from '80s breaks the flow for me. I don't consider it entirely bad though. I liked the setting (even poorly executed, with horrible black and white characters) and the idea about the hunt was pretty cool. Such a shame it wasn't better written. I can totally understand someone will like it, similarly as just another comic book movie adaptations, etc.
