That one is generational I think. It isn't going to hit all your childhood nostalgia buttons if you weren't born by about 1985.

I was the target audience. I got all or almost all of the references, I just thought the book was awful.

Oh, well there goes my theory. I liked the book, but I saw it was relying on me relating hard to the 80's references. Like a book version of The Wedding Singer.
