The thought of the book is really a great thought, but VR vs. R has been approached so many times that people pretty much know what's expected of it and can probably predict the ending of most books of this nature.I'm not really a Tom Clancy fan, but this book was okay. I read the original Net Force and I liked it a lot. I even watched the movie which is nothing like the book.I'm so used to reading other computer books that talk about a lot of technical stuff that I decided to read a book that was based on computer knowledge, but it's not necessarily bound by computers. If you are a young adult that likes computers or virtual reality and the thought of the future being so high tech then this is a must read. If you're going to read the series then at least read the first Net Force book to see what the whole plot is and how they came up with all of the additional books.
