I think I had too many expectations for this one. It was a slow start with a lot of information. There were lots of references to video games, films and musics and some of them were actually relevant. 
 I'm not sure I would have finished it if it hadn't been for Wil Wheaton's (who is mentioned in the book) fantastic performance on the audiobook. 
 Despite this, the second half was fun, I loved the characters and I'm glad I've finally read this book!
