I said it once before: "meet "80s memes the dystopian scifi book"

I really wanted to like it, but not because it's an actually good book (in fact the writing could be better and the story isn't surprising at all - after the introduction of the characters, everybody will know how that book is ending), but because it's a well optimized meme collection with exactly the story elements that tend to sell well.

No, the dystopian megacorp doesn't win against the highly enthusiastic teenager.
Also that Girl he's crazy about, who doesn't want him because of the central conflict? Yeah, you know what'll hapen after the conflict is going to be resolved.

There's not even remotely relevant side-characters dying - at least nobody anyone would care about.

So... is this a bad book? No, it's a highly entertaining one. But not great literature.

sadly not a finished book - but good as long as it (currently) lasts

ich erwartete ein Werk dass mit dem Känguru mithalten kann. Das bekam ich leider nicht. Gut wird das Buch leider erst nach dem ersten Viertel, davor ist es doch recht eintönig und z.B. die spöttischen Kommentare, wie sie das Känguru äußern würde, fehlten ersatzlos.

Dafür hielt sich der Autor umso stärker mit Einführung in das Szenario und Erklärungen auf.

Das Ende ist dafür umso besser und man würde gerne noch gleich einen Nachfolger konsumieren.

bad editing, switching sides with each chapter (can take some lines until you know what "admiral" is talking in that chapter - yes, they are all called "admiral" now) and some logical errors

but still a fun read
