It was all-consuming — it actually got my partner back into reading after a hiatus of several years.

As someone who has definitely used the internet as an escape from depression, a lot of this stuff really related to me. That said, I’m a 90s baby, so some of the 80s references went over my head (well, okay, a lot of them!). But I still enjoyed it even so!

I find it weird that it was billed as the adult’s Harry Potter — at this point, isn’t that just Harry Potter? :P

I agree with you about it not being a grown-up Harry Potter. I’ve heard it called a mix of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Matrix, which I can kind of see. And I’m with Ari on this one, I’d love to see Edgar Wright direct a RP1 movie!

It’s one of my favourite books. I don’t think Nolan would be a good director for it but I think Edgar Wright would be awesome!

I read it last year with my boyfriend for a book club, and we even made an 80’s playlist to listen to while we read. I agree that it’s not really adult Harry Potter (if anything, I’d give that title to Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell). The 80s references were loads of fun :)
