I think that was also around the time I got my first computer (technically it was the family computer), and then two years later, I discovered AOL (and IM chatting).<br /><br />The premise of the book definitely sounds really interesting, but I agree that teens might not be able to connect with it on a deeper level since so much of the story seems to be grounded in the nostalgia of the past.Marg @ Clockwork Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798495776647093913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202949130902554989.post-86885299770604526772011-12-02T16:53:41.066-05:002011-12-02T16:53:41.066-05:00Using so much pop culture is usually a turn-off fo...Using so much pop culture is usually a turn-off for me. In this case (though it was clearly overwhelming) it was a bit more fun because much of what they referenced was around during my very early 20s. So it's kind of fun to pick things out. However, as you've said, the book is going to be dated pretty quickly.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965647842119649711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202949130902554989.post-61815863941185320632011-11-30T21:41:19.209-05:002011-11-30T21:41:19.209-05:00I've been dying to get this book!
