3.5 stars.

When i downloaded this i was expectinng it to be a simple, quick romance but was surprised to find it wasn't.

I'll admit i was a bit bored in the first 10% of the book but then she met Ryan and it became interesting and a rollercoaster of emotion.

"Before I was a reader, I was a gamer so it was so awesome how Ernest Cline married two of my biggest passions into a solid book that is about more than just video games. It was hard to focus on anything else after I finished this 5-star read."

The story was a little slow in the beginning, but once you get into it, the book is actually pretty good. It was a little vulgar, but it's not like I haven't ran into that before. I think I may have seen a few typo errors, but they were minor.

A book that will stay with you.

This book is amazing! I have literally spent over a decade trying to find it, it is that good! I have a mysterious and interesting bond with this book I can't explain. I bought this book around 10 to 15 years ago at my local Dollar General for a couple bucks. I read it and fell in love with it. I was in my teens and liked to write stories and began to name some of my characters Naomi after the character. However, shortly after finishing it, it mysteriously disappeared. I looked behind furniture, under furniture, and tore apart my house, nothing. I tried to find another copy, but there were no more at the store. I tried other places, but found that I could not remember the authors name to save my life and when I described it no one had heard of it. I then moved and was hoping that packing everything I own would help me find it again, but I didn't. And so began a decade long obsession with this book. I typed it in search engines, including details I could remember. I did try goodreads at one point a long time ago and nothing. I had begun to think I was crazy and imagined this book. I would periodically think about it and wish I could find it so I could read it again. Tonight there was a big thunderstorm and I couldn't sleep. For some reason I thought of the book as I was scrolling through some kindle books. My goodreads app was there and I just typed it in. I was disappointed when it didn't immediately pop up. I was going to give up and then decided to scroll all the books. I was scrolling and suddenly I saw a cover I recognized. I've finally found it. I read the synopsis and confirmed this is it. Would I recommend it yes. This book has haunted me for years and I never forgot it. Not many books can do that. I'll admit it's not for everyone, but if you like a good suspense, you will.

Please note this review is for an earlier publication of this book (1998-2001ish) which is why I've been looking for it for over 10 years and the current publication is 2012 (new publisher).
