Excellent! I love her writing, and while I may not have the same tastes, I love the philosophy that you should unabashedly love whatever brings you joy. There is no good media, or bad media, ultimately we're all decaying flesh prisons, and however we choose to silence the existential wailing into the void is fine.
Pretty good, I think it might require another read to pick out all of the details. I really like the flowery language that describes everything. I feel like it requires several readings to really pick out the details, whereas the first read is just a struggle to really nail down what the hell is actually happening.
I'm not really sure what I was expecting. I heard that the game control was inspired by this series, and so I was expecting a shadowy government agency and some paranormal goings on. I got that, but it was pretty dry. Not super satisfying, and the creepiness is rather overwhelmed by the boring main character.
It wasn't bad. Cline is really heavy handed with the references, so it feels almost like a commercial sometimes, and the story wasn't anything groundbreaking, but you know what you're getting when you go for a book from Cline. It's masturbatory nostalgia, which by it's nature is fun. You don't always need to sniff your own farts to show how superior you are. Sometimes you just want some jack in the box.
