I did not, however, like Cline's next book ("Armada"). I didn't even finish it.
Where RP1 actually worked the pop culture stuff into the story, it felt like in Armada he was just throwing out nostalgic things for the sake of doing so. It got to the point where it was embarrassingly obvious that the references were contrived just to make the audience happy.

Armada was a pretty blatant rip off of Enders Game, mixed in with a bit of The Last Starfighter.
