This book was recommended to me back in 2000 - I remember that I could not put it down and bought the following volumes as soon as they were available. The day that the fourth volume arrived in the mail put me out of contact with the world for a week. If you are interested in virtual reality, this is the book for you.

I have only recommended this book to a few specific friends, ones that I know are technophiles and that are sufficiently offbeat enough to possibly enjoy such a romp. It is definitely not for everyone.

I just hope that by the time I am 70 and retired, living in an old folks home, I can plug in and have such adventures......gives me something to look forwards to!

I bought this book a few months back just for something to read. The first few chapters were turning me off of it, but somehow I was compelled to read more. When I got to the end of this book, I wound up craving the rest of the series and bought the other three quickly.
I can't say this was the best out of the four in this series, but this is just an introduction into a vast and lovely world. The characters are actually real enough to care for, or hate.
All in all, the plot is confusing after the first few chapters, but it all comes together soon enough if you keep reading on. Definitely one of my favorite series, if not my most favorite.
