The first 30% of this book was really hard for me to get through because I just didn't enjoy it. While it did get better after that, I never loved it, but I am still glad that I spent the time reading it.

This did not live up to my memory from my childhood.

I really enjoyed this book, but it just didn't quite click like Ready Player One, or The Last Starfighter, did for me.

The first 2/3rds or so of this book was fantastic, but then it turned into just politics from that point forward, and lost most of the charm and wonder that was present in the beginning. However, the ending still left me looking forward to the sequel.

Would be a good book for younger readers as it is not as dark as something like Night, but I think I would have given this 2 stars if it weren't for the subject matter.
