Críticas
The Impossible Fortress reads like a newly-unearthed Amblin movie - a sweet, funny and moving tribute to nerds and misfits everywhere, set in a magical time when cassettes were king, phones had cords and Playboy was the pinnacle of smut. Fans of Ernie Cline and Chuck Klosterman - this is your next favourite book. (Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies)
A love letter to the 1980s, adolescence, technology, nerd-dom, and Vanna White, The Impossible Fortress will make you laugh and remind you of how much is possible when you're fourteen. (David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl)
The Impossible Fortress is hilarious, compulsively readable and surprisingly poignant, a teenage caper novel set in a time where U2 could still be considered a one-hit wonder and pornography was as close and as unobtainable to a 14-year-old boy as a Playboy magazine kept behind the counter at an office supply store. I absolutely loved it. (Carolyn Parkhurst, author of Harmony and The Dogs of Babel)
Part love story, part coming-of-age tale, and part heist picture, The Impossible Fortress is an endlessly clever novel about friendship, heartache and computers - all rendered with the bright colors and buoyant spirit of Q*bert for the Commodore 64. (Ben H Winters, author of the Edgar award-winning Last Policeman trilogy)
A tenderly crafted and charmingly spot-on debut novel . . . surprising and nostalgic in the best possible way. (Denise Kiernan, author of The Girls of Atomic City)
The '80s are still the nostalgia decade du jour and new book The Impossible Fortress by Jason Rekulak lands us right back in the days of cassette tapes, Magnum PI and the Commodore 64. Set in 1987, we follow nerdy video gamer Billy as he finds himself in love for the first time. Sweet, funny and filled with 'oh, yeaaah' references. (Sunday Telegraph, Stella Magazine)
A moving love letter to the Eighties. (Stylist)
The best geek novel since Ready Player One . a joy to read. Each chapter pulls you into the next, in part because of the wonderful chapter headings, which are subroutines written in BASIC or machine code . thoroughly recommend[ed]. (Geek Dad)
[An] assured debut . makes for a rather Disneyesque dose of nostalgia. (Mail on Sunday)
My favourite debut of the year so far and I strongly recommend it for anyone who wants fun, humour and an abundance of feels. (YA Under My Skin)
