3.0

What I liked about this book was that there was a variety of geek categories to choose from. They were not all lumped into one section.

What I didn't like is that by the halfway point of the book, the writing got to be a little dry. It felt like the author lost enthusiasm for the subject and had to force herself to continue.

This is a short book, so even with the slow pace throughout the second half, it is worth reading if only as an in-between book (between your last great novel and waiting for the sequel to come out).

The way that Jenna was portrayed in this story made the situation sound more cult-like than I think is accurate. It did, however, offer a view of Allys that I think should have been fleshed out more. It would have been enjoyable to hear more from her.
