However, Watts is contended in just perusing through this world to escape the harsh realities of life but everything changes when he stumbles into and completes the first puzzle.

Reactions:
“At heart, this is a book for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider or a geek, and for those of us who love to read. I haven’t fallen in love with a book like this in a long time and I hope it gets the recognition and readership that it deserves. Even though this takes place in the year 2044, the sense of nostalgia and the world created will take you back in time to the way you felt when you were 18. I promise.” – Sb-Lynn

“It’s a very entertaining novel that invokes memories and nostalgia for those who remember the 80s. It reads quickly and will make a fantastic movie when and if it eventually gets made. As a first novel, it’s decent. But I really wish Cline would focus more on showing us instead of giving us a quick summary of what happened.” – Terry Mesnard

“Well I couldn’t stop reading this one if I were a Gunter heading for the third gate. I didn’t want it to end but I couldn’t stop reading it either. While being drowsy at work, all I wanted to do was pick up this book or call off sick so I could immerse myself in this tribute to a childhood (now not forgotten)” – J. Clark

“I won’t waste time telling you how good the “book” is, as others have done that very well. I just need to give kudos to Wil Wheaton. Wil does his usual audiobook effort here, which is to say that he completely “owns” this.” – Marvin
