It's not too bad if you've been reading with just a little book light, but if you've had a lamp on, that sucker is bright! I just turned it over on my nightstand so it wouldn't keep me up. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-42385917812417674952014-02-04T09:35:13.382-05:002014-02-04T09:35:13.382-05:00abibliophilesstyle - It has a glow-in-dark cover?!...abibliophilesstyle - It has a glow-in-dark cover?!??!! I read the audiobook, I had no idea!<br /><br />52booksorbust - Thanks! <br /><br />figandthistle - Definitely a slump-buster! <br /><br />Heather - I thought so, young male main character, techy, funny, on a quest. It reminded me a lot of Ready Player One (though I liked RPO more.)<br /><br />Andi - I got it from the library, my go-to place for newer books. <br /><br />Kailana - It's a fun one!<br /><br />Jeanne - I can't think of how else it would have ended. <br /><br />Julie - They felt very similar to me, you'll have to check it out. <br /><br />JoAnn - I'll keep my eye out for a kindle deal!<br /><br />Sandy - It's a great one on audio.

I loved Ready Player One as well, so I'm going to have to look into this one, see if the library has the audio.

I've heard a lot about Ready Player One, but I've never heard anyone compare it to Mr. Penumbra before.

I am very glad that my mom told me about the glow-in-dark cover - I think it might have freaked me out a bit if I hadn't known ahead of time. :)<br />There is also an e-book prequel, Ajax Penumbra 1969, which seems intriguing.
