I'm a big fan of Chris' books, so I was excited to see his take on a new genre. I'm not too terribly familiar with the new LitRPG/GameLit genres, but I have read Robert Bevan's "Critical Failures" so I feel like I have a good sense of what Chris was going for in this book. As with Critical Failures, I found the humor to be a little juvenile for my tastes, and I'm still trying to figure out how important the "gaming" aspects of the story are to this genre... but it was an otherwise very enjoyable read. Bert is a great character and there were some truly excellent and surprising narrative developments and character moments that are a hallmark of Chris' work.
