This book was decent. I liked the idea of it and a lot of aspects of the book. But I'm taking away a star for two reasons. One, I was really bothered by Sadie saying “hey Sam, leave me alone, I meant it”, and he still comes and pesters her and he is supposed to be applauded as a hero, which happened a few times in the book. Also, the third act was not my cup of tea. I didn't like how Marx died. I felt like they put that in just to add conflict that didn't need to be there.
I did enjoy how the story touched upon aspects of females being into programming. And there were Jewish elements sprinkled throughout the book, too. I would recommend this book to another fellow gamer, as long as you are prepared for an intense (and maybe unnecessary?) third act.
