4 stars if they wouldn't pronounce "chaos" like "kah' ōs"
I get that they're going for how they think a Japanese person would pronounce it but it's annoying and inconsistent as they pronounced it correctly in the phrase "Cradle of Chaos"

The authors understand absolutely nothing about code and yet decided to make that the most important and frequently discussed element of their story.

I forced myself to finish and I will not be getting the sequel because I would rather be left without an ending than sit through another book like that.

Nick Podehl is great but he could not save this book.

Choc full of outdated stereotypes, digs against: nerds, feminists, college students, Asians, Obama, "liberals", and everything someone maybe 45+ would hate. (curse you Twitter!)

Many of the references are already dated (Chuck Norris) and the rest will be in less than 5 to 10 years. Highly, doubt it will age well.

Could have been good, lighthearted, action-comedy but instead it's at least 40% rant.

His vocabulary is smaller than expected. He doesn't use a lot of words, just unusual ones over and over. Seriously, count the number of times he says "grotesque", "demoniac", etc...

I was hoping for a reading of the original, got an abridged radio play that was significantly inferior. Oh well.
