After over 200 pages I was still not into it. He's trying to make what is happening much more interesting than it is and it's not working. Doesn't matter how you try to pimp it out to the reader the fact remains that there's someone holding data hostage for $73 and I could not care less.
"Reamde" is more than 34 hours long and I still regretted reaching the end. Malcolm Hillgartner delivers a masterful performance that kept me engaged thro ughout. The opening chapter of REAMDE reads like something from John Irving or Richard Russo. It establishes Richard Forthrast, online war game...
This was a thriller with almost no real sci-fi component (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Because I thought this was going to be a science fiction novel like Snow Crash (which I loved) I was all set to enter the virtual world of video games. Surprise Valz -- it's an action adventure with a whole slew of delightful protagonists. And to all those characters I say, the more the merrier! And...
