I started reading a book called For the Win. I decided to read this book because it is by the same author who wrote little brother, a book I enjoyed. I also thought I enjoyed it because it involves video games. But it's kind of complicated and challenging to read sometimes, when the character(s) talk about currency and stuff like that, which is quite often. The reason they do this is because it's about these kids who make money of of video games, how they can make money by doing missions for someone on a different computer screen who is willing to pay them, earn profit of selling in-game items, and stuff like that. And it's really complicated, because they mention all this video game stuff that even I am getting bored by it.
Also, it has many different character perspectives, so it's like five different story lines, and confusing to follow. Maybe about two of the characters have an interesting story line, but the rest don't, and I get annoyed when there's a new chapter and it goes from the interesting character's perspective to the boring character's perspective.
And another thing is that there is lots of math involved sometimes, and it's usually some high school level calculations that involve a game's currency rate and stuff, and it's very hard to follow. Maybe it's just boring because I'm at the beginning of the book and not all the characters have conflicts yet. I read it kind of slowly, and it is a very long book. I could barely even predict what most of the characters' conflicts will be.
