First, the woman with Type 1 Diabetes who was still really good friends with her ex that dumped her because "his grandmother had to do the needles and he just couldn't deal." She falls in love with a cop who got ran over by a dude who's exgirlfriend was paying him in sex for protecting her from said boyfriend (what??). Anyway they fall in love in VR after being attacked by a "Phreak" aka a hacker aka a sad 14 year old boy. This Phreak is the son of a snake cultist who died from a snake bite. etc. This book was really silly. Read this on recommendation from a friend. He read it so many times as a kid the cover fell off his copy. Had I read this for the first time as a kid, I probably would have done the same. It's a good read. Enough adventure to keep you interested, but scant enough on details to get bogged down in technology. Worth the read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

As a result, the few areas the authour put a lot of focus on, like the female lead's medical issues, and the religious factions in one of the settings ended up sticking out like sore thumbs.
If you could make yourself stop giggling every time the modem was running up user's phone bills and preventing phone calls from going through, the rest of the computer tech was left fuzzy enough it actually stands up ok for the first half of the book. Then you run face first into the villain of the piece and as a computer tech, the premise setting up the rest of the book quickly went from funny to absurd.
I held my nose and still managed to enjoy parts of it, then was let down again by the ending.
The less technical you are, and the less you expect of it, the more you might enjoy it.
Not all bad, a 2-1/2 for me. ( )
