This book is the worst. I have read it again, as a punishment to myself and because my in person bookclub hasld picked this as a book.

I understand that this book is not aimed at me and I am not the target market but I do belive there are better books out there for young teenage boys. 

First of all, if your not a fan of being mansplained every page you can find at least one mansplain, and it gets really old really quick. 

Second of All, the women in this serve as a plot point to get the main character "distracted"  and is a classic case of Manic Pixie Dream Girl the love interest, who has a "deformity" (read birthmark) and he decided he can "love her anyway". The fact that Art3mis knows anything, in fact she knows everything (sort of &  when it's convenient of course) and everyone is just amazed that she does. 😂 

Third, if you don't want to play the game of "that thing is in/from the 80s" so help me god, do not read this book. I get it, halliday was on the spectrum, his special interest was the 80s but christ on a bike. I wouldn't mind but Rush, classic arcade games, Matthew Roderick films and Monty Python are hardly underground. 

It felt like reading Edgelord the book,  not for me, a very rare 1 star. No thanks. Hated it.
