I wanted to love this. I really did. But it just wasn't for me. I'm a gamer and was really interested in a book involving the characters creating games. The first portion of the book I really enjoyed getting through. Then everything bogged down and I had such a hard time getting through the rest. I wasn't able to connect with the characters and had a hard time getting through to the end. I'm glad others have found it a great read, but it's one that I'll never be interested in picking up again.
