Why does this book exist? One might say “to tell a story”, but that doesn't happen. Nothing happens. Events do occur, yes, but nothing /happens/.
Did people actually talk like these characters? Maudlin seems the best way to describe the dialog.
I have to mark this book read even though I barely started. The '80s references reach a masturbatory level very early on. And I'm in the same demographic as Mr. Cline. I don't need to be told how to pronounce Art3mis and Sux0rz. That just insulted my intelligence.
Wikipedia lists this as science fiction, while Goodreads at least also classifies it as young adult. It certainly reads like I imagine a YA novel would.
