I saving myself times the background, this was already written here enough.
To rest: Up to and including the first third of the book is actually quite interesting that dystopia is quite well designed for my taste.
After but the "other side" get to know as a reader, it takes for my taste off rapidly, because there is fast becoming a history with a
very shallow good / evil scheme (Spoiler: It is not better), and after that it's really only so on, there is such a Hollywood standard that even
some Hollywood creative people would find it too shallow ... the end is such a cliché and even kitsch loaded that I really in a scene not only
have shaken his head in the spirit.
More is there almost not to say it will find no big surprises or even more turns in the last two-thirds instead of that evil remains evil
and plenty of flat, the story takes its course, the one learns one or two new products for the final, then cut an even more from the stool.
The main character also develops no further .. apart from a rather superficial level. He questioned the usefulness of the whole construct
"OASIS" far too little. Well, it may be applied as a rather superficial nerd, but even Art3mis that initially it has nobler motives is hardly expanded,
at the content level certainly not.
This is all the more a pity, because the author himself actually delivers a through ball, as you would have done differently .. it comes
a even before, as if he had it several times himself planned, but not executed.
Without spoilers ... "Og" Hallidays good friend of old, speaks to himself that the "secular" issues of human population (such as the energy crisis)
do not even the decisive are .. but that the world goes to the dogs because no longer cares .. how is this also going
when large parts of humanity's population take refuge in a better world of illusion. This makes the book but almost nothing, only in subordinate clauses
sounds in between times on, at the end you will find a detail whether the author would again thought about it .. but that's it.
Maybe he wants to be yes cancel the ultimate consequence for a second part.
It then gives the impression of a hapless youth book ... only is the target group, with x-references to the 80s and 90s?
And the "partying" all possible details of old video games though is for the interested quite interesting, but does not carry a book.
Pity about the useful setting and the interesting details .. I had some places may have my fun, but at the end it was always clouded.
Average for interested in the subject. At best.
