Completely fricken awesome. This book pleased every geeky bond in my geeky body. I felt like it was written just for me.

If you are the kind of person who molds their personality around things reddit likes, you would be completely right.
But you are not, because this is nothing but bait.
I don't think there was anything wrong with the IDEA of this book. A reference-heavy fetishistic love letter to 80s pop culture could still be fun. But it would need:
>a believable fleshed-out world
>a good puzzle and series of challenges driving the plot
>a non-explanatory style that incorporates references fluidly instead of pausing ever minute to say "now, I should explain the significance of this show--which is one of my favorites..."
Never before have I felt such a strong sense of "The author wasn't smart enough to write this." His idea of a subtle clue is a blatant reference to the single most notorious D&D module of all time, but somehow our hero was the only one to notice that in years of playing.
