      I finished it as a hate read, hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Just a packet of clichés wrapped around nerd nostalgia. I absolutely lost it when a chapter was literally just reciting an 80s movie word for word. 🤣

        I know it though Mike Nelson’s bookclub podcast. It was funny hearing him relieved not to have been mentioned as an important piece of 80’s pop culture.

        I know someone who’s whole identity is that he never grew up after the 80s. He was insufferable in that lead up to that movie.

      That’s a fine opinion to have, but it doesn’t justify leaving out the coolest parts of the book, or ruining Art3mis’s character, or changing Shoto’s name.
