I like to complain, learn new things & read. My favorite things to learn are related to the fantasy-genre or to computers/programming. My favorite things to complain about are when I don't understand

Nomad Scry's Most Popular Reviews

Overly simplified, the core idea of this book is silly. So I prefer not to simplify or spoil this one and simply say, “Read it.”

Well written and clear, I'm about ready to buy a generator and solar panels for the inevitable day when the blackouts come.

Amazing. Somehow the self-centered child grew up.

These kinds of stories require an explanation at some point and yet that explanation is never actually satisfying. Wendig does as good a job as I’ve ever read but I’m not sure it’s possible to have the ending/conclusion that I want.

So confusing. Main character is insufferable in his whining and jealous longing for anything he doesn’t have. Maybe, just maybe, he’s finally learned something by the end… but I highly doubt it.
