The and then…and then…and then… quality of the narrative spent more time on in-game play minutiae than plot and character development. My 1980’s were never this boring and flat.

Video games are often considered an escape from reality, and in 2044, reality is something that really needs to be escaped from. Massive poverty, unemployment, a housing crisis, and ecological disasters are things that plague the average…

I loved it! I couldn't put it down. I thought it was well written and was rooting for 'Parzival' all the way. The only time I was disappointed was when I thought he was going to die after being arrested by the IOI. Turns out you could…

Finally found a book for which the movie adaptation is better, more plausible, more intelligible, and with less plot holes. It is a tween's dream story, told by a 15-year old mind (regardless of how old the author may be). No depth, no…

As a teen girl with an Oculus VR headset, I thoroughly enjoyed Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It’s an exciting book with an involving plot and plenty of gaming and pop culture references. Growing up with a dad who is very into 80s-90s…

I saw the movie when it came out and had a hard time with the first few chapters as they were similar. Perseverance was rewarding because I was immersed in the Oasis, sometimes forgetting I am not an 80's expert or gamer, and I loved MC,…

What a beautiful book…for me I wasnt really excited to start and it felt slow to build. But once I was hooked I couldn’t put it down! Such an epic tale of friendship with the background of so many 80-90 pop culture/game culture gems! In a…

This is one of those books in which you can very obviously tell that the author had fun writing it. Cline perhaps had TOO much fun writing out his fantasies and spewing as many '80s related references he could possibly remember. But like…

if you took out the references to things you enjoyed outside of this book there is nothing there. what was there was really just an ode to the worst parts of the gate keeping mentality that is very prevalent in online nerd culture. Skip…

This book was so much fun! The clues in the treasure hunt are different enough from the movie that you can enjoy both.
