This book was a.freaking.mazing!!! My heart was pounding every second while I was reading. The action and story line were really well done, and I could never guess what was going to happen next. 
 There were SO MANY 80s references in this book, so I feel like it would be more enjoyed by readers at least a generation older than me. I shared some of them with Jonah and they brought a smile of reminiscence to his face... old Ataris, the game Adventure... he even tried to describe what an Apple IIe was, and how you apparently used to play video games by typing commands into the computer, which would then give you a description of what happened next. I can't imagine. 
 The handful of 80s references I got DID make me happy, such as, "What's up Humperdinck?" ("Princess Bride!!!" I shrieked) and "Answer the question, Claire" ("Breakfast Club!" I shrieked again.) But really, I had a knowledge of Ms. Pac Man, and that was just about how far I was able to enjoy the references, as I was born in '85. 
 However, the fact that I was missing nostalgic references that probably made older gamers cry over old memories in the arcade, it did not take away from the story. The thrill ride was amazing. It was a believable dystopian future. Character development was well done, and you truly hate the bad guys, which means it's good writing. I'll be thinking about this book for a while. 
 I'd definitely recommend this book, you won't be able to put it down. Fair warning to my Mormon friends: I'd rate this game (I mean,book) rated M for Mature due to brief sexuality and moderate swearing throughout. Totally worth it though!
