Bad choices are perfectly real in life. Adam and Eve started the trend. It seems Oliver had a very exciting life with the bad choices he made, learned from and eventually abandoned. I'll surely enjoy following his journey.

A most appealing review, Christina Rose!

the review is helpful because it clears to me that book is not for everyone and it includes a crime story. The story seems interesting and bold so I like to read this book after completing my already started book.

This book sounds quite heavy for me to entertain. I wonder if I can handle reading it. Nice review though.

I like this book because like you I am very interested in hacking and the people who do it. I like the various jobs that Oliver has done in his life and the extent that he goes to for love. My favorite parts are the different people that he meets along his journey and the 1990's time period that the novel is set in.

I love dark humour and just like you I, for some reason, am fascinated by the hacking world. Sounds like a book I would enjoy, great review!

The official review is helpful but this book doesn't fascinate me because there is a use of bold language and some crime scenes.

This book sounds interesting. The title and the fact that it was compared to the catcher in the rye caught my attention. Unfortunately, your review mentions many times that this book includes some dark humor and it's not for the faint of heart, so I think I'll pass on this one. But it's nice to see you enjoyed it and great job on the review!

So thrilling and fascinating review we have there. Oliver Markus a mere teenager falling deep in love with Donna and making him to have a swift change of environment from Europe all the way to America. Indeed love do conquer all. What is more fascinating is his ability to shove away all his bad doing because of a mere girl. He did make a few wrong choice but that happened because of the love he harbored in his heart for those around him. Love they say is blind so I do not put the blame on him. Moreover sex and obscene language most times makes a play fascinating take it away from it and it humor or satire will not be complete. For me a book with no romance is a no no no so am looking forward in downloading this book.

What a review! The story is such that its humour filled. I liked as it started with an illegal hacking Olivier and ended with a gradually changing person all in the name of love. Love is a powerful tool that can change a wayward person to the better. Good work. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I must say this is a detailed review. It sells out the book. One would want to get deep into the actual occurrences in the story. Ocassionally one would think this is a movie.
