It's a fun, easy read with a lot of detail and a lot of reference to a bunch of 80s pop culture. It's a good read, especially if you're in your late 30s and grew up with 80s games, movies, cartoons, and science fiction (I fit that demographic). Teens who are gamers would probably enjoy it as well, especially if their parents fit that demographic and have, over the years, introduced their kids to that stuff.
I'd say it's worth reading.

I was born in 1982 and a friend gave me this and I cant put it down. Its a super fun book that I get giddy over. I cant even remember the last time a book got me excited, to where I actually care what happens to the character. Yotsuya isnt giving it enough credit (sorry man) this is a GREAT book. Its stupid good. Buy it now. DO IT.

I feel the same way, I look forward to getting home and reading it everyday. I was born in 1971, so I was age 9 thru 18 in the 80's and fondly remember all the movies, music, video games, and bad fashion!
I'm about 30% thru the book and loving it! When I read the Ghostbusters reference on the first page, I was hooked!
