Product Description:
Nat Idle, a San Francisco writer with a medical degree, narrowly survives an explosion in an Internet café after a stranger hands him a note warning him to exit immediately. The handwriting on the note belongs to his deceased girlfriend, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist whom he has obsessively been mourning.
So begins HOOKED, a pop thriller for the Digital Age, written with the force and the pace of an intimate email dispatch you can't stop reading. Each chapter of this novel will keep readers hooked as Nat Idle searches for the love of his life in the midst of manipulation and conspiracy.
Just as previous generations were influenced by movies, today we are becoming hooked on Internet technology, which is changing the way we read, think, and dream. HOOKED vividly illustrates how technology is turning us into a national of addicts. It will make you rethink your relationship with your computer and your mobile phone.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great beginning, but hard to follow in the end
The opening scene of Matt Richtel's Hooked is downright gripping: journalist Nathaniel Idle, reading Mystic River in an internet cafe, is handed a note by a mysterious blonde. He follows her outside, loses her, and only then unfolds the paper. It's a warning to leave the cafe. Behind him, the building explodes. The explosion of course triggers a police investigation, and Nat's departure from the building immediately before it blew up makes him an obvious suspect. But that's just the beginning of ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great love story/thriller
Hooked is a terrific, tight, intelligent read. Nice guy med school drop-out turned San Francisco journalist Nat Idle only just survives a coffee shop bomb after he gets a note from a passing hottie telling him to leave immediately. Weird thing is the note's in his dead girlfriend's handwriting. He sets out to figure out what's going on and we get flashbacks of his very sweet, hot relationship with the dead girlfriend and in that way understand why he's pining. The writing's stylish and spare, ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - HAD POTENTIAL - NEVER QUITE GOT THERE...
This book definitely had a lot of potential, but it never quite realized it. I thought that not only was it slow in periods, but I just found myself disinterested altogether. Additionally, I would have to back-track and re-read certain parts to understand what just happened. It was unnecessarily confusing at times.

Then there were some totally implausible parts that took place near the end where the narrow-escapes were ridiculous and one part in particular where the main character ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hooked
Matt Richtel's storyline and character development are absolutely terrific. What a great read! Let's hope there's more to come from this talented writer.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Pacing
I really enjoyed this book and found it to be a real page turner. I started it on a business trip and had to finish it before I could go to sleep that night. The main character Nat is well developed. Other characters could have used a little more depth, but it's a great debut novel. The topic of the development of software that can control our human decision making is facinating to me, and well within the realm of what our lives may become. Looking forward to the next book from this new author.
