It started out with hopes of being a great novel. I found myself laughing out loud early on at some of the juvenile humor. Hill's endless description of characters becomes tedious. Just way too much inocuous detail on every single person and event. The last 1/4 of the book is downright painful. His psycho-babble on Pwnage quitting Elfscape was torture. Please get back to the plot!! This had the makings of a good story. Unfortunately it's about 300 pages (it's over 600) too long.
