I hope to read this this month!

I started early reading the audiobook, and I really like it so far! Although the very beginning on audio is a lot of zeroes and ones to listen to. It's kind of hypnotic after a while. Though it also got me weird looks from a girl on a bicycle when I was listening in my car with the windows down and stopped at a light.

LOL.

The spoiler thread has a link to what the ones and zeroes mean.

small story: I downloaded the book sample to help me decide if I wanted to buy the audio, and the sample consisted entirely and only of chapter 1, which is just ones and zeroes. It was not even remotely helpful.

That being said, the narrator managed to make it somehow interesting.

Thanks! I saw that in the spoiler thread, and I was happy to learn that the ones and zeroes actually meant something. I was hoping they did.

That is funny about the audiobook sample - definitely not much to go on to make a decision. But it's true, the narrator somehow does make it interesting. I will say, I have been enjoying the narration overall, in case anyone is on the fence about trying the audiobook.

I started reading this a few days ago an have really enjoyed it. It's a fun read with lots going on.
