Audio Review from September 2022
This was a fun listen and I think having watched the movie first gave me a better play by play to picture in my head as I listened as I could picture things and reference things there.
I listened to this with my husband as a side project and we spent about three hours wrapping it up today.
I think Whil Wheaton was absolutely perfect for this role. The book read as if he was reading from a diary a lot of the time and that was fun. Will put just enough inflection and emotion into it and the flow never felt overplayed.

I loved that this book focused more on pop culture as a whole rather than just video game related pop culture.
He has such a way with weaving fun into serious.

I enjoyed this one as much as the first. I loved all the John Hughes stuff and the Lord of the Rings. These are both things I love. Wade kinda made me mad at first. I loved getting to see the characters I loved from the first book. I would recommend this.
I really enjoyed this book. I was brought into their world so easily. I love the 80’s so loved all the references. I would definitely recommend this one.
I stopped with the audio book - it felt too much like the first one.
