I listened to this audiobook as a serialized podcast narrated by the author. The story itself is fun, and while predictable, is still enjoyable. Like a lot of authors in this age group it is filled with pop culture references and has a very "90's feel" to it... But that isn't a criticism, it is more of an endorsement for a particular subgenre of works.

One of my favorite aspects of this are the "author notes" at the end of each chapter/episode. Some of them tell the inspiration for story parts and characters, and sometimes the author gets very personal and honest. 

Imagine somewhat of a cross between Ernest Cline and Kevin Smith.
