In summary: Sword Art Online plot plus San Jupinero
Ready Player One was epic, this one is pretty dull
More dead-on 80's nostalgia packaged in an entertaining story that pays homage by name to darker predecessors like Strange Days and Brainstorm.
So gut der erste Teil war so schlecht ist der zweite. Spannung fehlt, viel Blabla und die Handlung ist naja. Man hätte mehr aus der Grundidee des Buches machen können. Es wirkt sehr erzwungen.
