Little Brother chapter 1-4

After reading the first 10 or so pages of this book, I really regret chosing it.

It seemed very boring... All he did was walk around talking about how to hide from cameras and the school management, and disguise programs on his computer that he was not allowed to use.

Then he talked about different game genres for several pages: ARGs, LARPs, Tabletop RPGs and everything! Then they had to put a book in the microwave owen, which was kind of strange and just took a long time to read.

The huge turning point came in the end of chapter 2; as Marcus and his friends are out ARGing.

They are out finding the next clue on Harajuku Fun Madness, which is a very strange game, when something really, really bad happens. Marcus first reckognizes it as a erthquake, though it turns out it is really a bomb sat off by terrorists. At that point the book suddenly became really exciting.

I actually had a hard time putting the book away in my hesitation to find out who kidnaps them, and I was a bit shocked to find out it was Homeland Security!

I have to say I was wrong about this book, it was not a bad choice. One thing came to my attention when the Homeland Security Agent started talking about being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't think it was a coincidence that he was where he was when the bomb went off. He just followed the co-ordinations given to him the Harajuku Fin Madness; do you think they sent the players there for a reason? Something fishy is going on...
