Rezension von ReadingLegend I read this on audio I don't care for Sifi but it was better for me then I thought it would be
Rezension von ThomasAls Film funktioniert das vielleicht, aber als Buch ist die oft end- und vor allem sinnlose Aufzählung von 80er-Referenzen auf Dauer ermüdend. Ich hätte mir gewünscht, die gute Ausgangsidee wäre in einer tiefergehenden Geschichte umgesetzt.
Rezension von Kelly KorekReally fun adventure. If you're an 80s lover or video game person, this is right up your alley. Even not knowing many of the references, I was still into the story and couldn't wait to keep reading.
Rezension von IsabelleVery interesting cant wait to see the movie would definitely recomend
Rezension von RaymondI thought the idea behind this book was cool. But the writing, for me, is incredibly sloppy. The constant repeating of the same facts over and over felt like it was just filler. Was this book even edited? It’s like the editor just gave up trying to form a cohesive story. Disappointed.
