Fun nod to nostalgia and nerdiness. I’d like it more of Wade was more likable? (Which I understand is the point).

I read this book for school, so obviously I wasn't too stoked at the beginning. The concept seemed interesting enough, but when something is for school I just can't be bothered. I actually got really into it though. The plot was very engaging and kept me interested the entire time. The main characters actions are a bit questionable sometimes, but he had some character development that definitely redeemed him a little. You could definitely sense this book was written by a man, because everything about women or romance cringed me the fuck out, but I'm willing to overlook that part. A solid 4 stars, really liked the ending and the message it sent.

For the first time in my life I was actually glad I watched the movie before I read the book. The move adaptation absolutely changed EVERYTHING about the challenges and so many huge details of the story. If I had read this book before the movie came out I would have been FURIOUS in the theater. This book is awesome. The futuristic dystopian concept is fascinating and scarily metaphorical for reality at times. There’s mysteries, puzzles, romance, suspense, and emotion. This is a book that I would read over again to catch even more detail the second time around. Good movie. Even better book.
