I get it and all about this book, but it was also very American set, what with its American shop references, the fact it’s completely centred on AOL (which, by the way, no longer exists here in the UK as a broadband company, since it got bought by TalkTalk) and its many other references and even, to an extent, the character’s mannerisms. I often moan about the lack of detail towards characters and it gets on my nerves too, but I would have liked to know way more about Josh, and Emma, and everyone. Other than the fact that Josh isn’t on good terms with Emma originally, and Josh is a skater. I know very little about Josh, or Emma, or any character. I was also concerned with the lack of attention to how the characters were portrayed. (I want to be able to say I spent ages on that, but I really didn’t. By the end, you might as well have a polygon where it’s that jagged. Imagine for a second a line, and this line starts off nice and straight, and then starts to go jagged. However, and this may come as a slight shock, I found the plot to be way too over the place.
