It doesn't specify which Rolling Stone the quote is from. Probably the one who said yes to Freejack.
“An amazing novel [that] proves Cline has the ability to blend popular culture with exciting stories that appeal to everyone.”
—Associated Press
I never imagined popular culture and exciting stories that appeal to everyone could go hand in hand but here we are.
“Mixes Star Wars, The Last Starfighter, Independence Day and a really gnarly round of Space Invaders into a tasty sci-fi stew.”
—USA Today
Hey, do you remember what it was the Klingons ate on Star Wars? I'm just going to put "stew."
“A joyous, rollicking read…will garner Cline an even larger group of fans than the formidable crew he’s already assembled.”
—Boing Boing
ERNIE CLINE HAS A POSSE
“With another winning teen protagonist in Zach, Cline mines the nostalgia and geek spheres just as successfully as he did in his acclaimed debut, Ready Player One. The works that obviously influenced the story line, such as Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game and the films The Last Starfighter and Star Wars, feel like homages rather than borrowings- a rap artist sampling the best beats our there to create an irresistible jam.”
—Library Journal, starred review
YO! ERNIE CLINE RAPS
“A great romp…Cline (ever the fanboy) is both reverent of and referential to the books and movies and games of his childhood.”
—Mother Jones
He's a nice boy, really. |
