That's funny. The fact that it was a love story is precisely what interested me in it.

Nice enough, but I ended up thinking that their love for each other was wider than it was deep; maybe a bit superficial. The author didn't give me enough to satisfy my curiosity about why they stayed with each other so long, through such lengthy separations.

Also, at the end, it seemed odd to me that the virtual-reality device seemed to be more or less erasing her brain instead of just copying its contents. Seems like a serious design flaw: a one way trip.

I've used that phrase to describe my own romantic streak. It's how I figured out I was better off single.
