Plot without spoilers...The Rendering is about Doug Solomon, a sixth grade gamer, his best friend Jamie, and three digitally enhanced skunks (yes skunks), trying to stop a evil genius, an army of mercenaries, and a digital empire, from scanning the world into the digital empire where everyone lives for one purpose and nothing else. Utopia? hardly!
Of literary interest...One very interesting literary form was that the book is written in blog form, modern diary form if you will, a risky choice but it works so well for The Rendering.
Finally, just gotta say...Although the storyline is thrilling, I have to say (and this for all the Xbox geeks such as me) I sometimes wish Doug would go into detail about his high score on "Arsenal Five"!

I'm not the hugest fan of skunks, but I've been a gamer for years. So thanks to your excellent review, I'm super excited to start reading this later today!
