As always, Scott Westerfeld made me think deep thoughts about something I really never thought about.

This book gets you thinking about why things are "cool" & who decides it. How companies market "cool". Do they over market"cool" until it simply isn't cool anymore?

The main characters were enjoyable to read about. I enjoyed the uniqueness of this story.

Often, when I'm reading, stories hit predictable plotline arcs or seem to be trying to "teach" a predictable moral.
I enjoy reading something I can't predict.
And on top of those positives, he left me with some parting thoughts to ponder on commercialism.
Very cool.
