This is a thrilling science fiction novel (dystopian obviously) where most of humanity escapes their grim reality by entering a virtual reality world called the OASIS. Creepy...The story follows Wade Watts, a teenager who embarks on a quest within the OASIS to find an Easter egg hidden by its creator, James Halliday, which promises immense wealth and control of the OASIS itself. The novel is littered with pop culture references from the 1980s, which is clever, adds depth to the story, and adds layers of nostalgia for readers familiar with that era. The pacing is fast and engaging, and kept me hooked through the night until I finished it in the morning. It’s a classic hero journey packed into a fun and entertaining read. ( )

A great recommendation from my friend José, this book started so strongly and kept bringing interesting ideas through the middle, but then sagged into a sort of Disney ending with too many retroactive fixes saving too much of the show. If your childhood overlapped the nerd culture of the 80's, you will find a lot to enjoy here. I look forward to reading more by Cline but I hope he takes more care with the conclusion of the next book. ( )

5 stars for bingeworthy entertainment value and mentioning old text games, minus 1 star for a book that has main characters glorifying 24/7 consumption of old pop culture and memorizing stupid trivia without them trying to make something new and cool themselves. Boring!
TL;DR: Don’t just play video games, use your superiour taste to build something new. ( )

My review would have been higher if it weren't for two sections/chapters. There was a chapter on the main characters self-servicing (euphemism) in much greater detail than was necessary. Then there was an entire chapter that was nothing more than an LGBTQ soap-box. I get that not everybody shares my worldview, but it really felt forced and awkward and just broke the flow of the book for me.

That aside, the action was great. The 80s references were awesome, especially having grown up in the 80s. ( )

Great literature? No. An awesome VR geekfest? Absolutely! Loved it. ( )

Ready Player One borrows liberally from the same Joseph Campbell plot requirements as all the beloved franchises it references, but in such a loving, deferential way that it becomes endearing. There’s a high learning curve to all of the little details Wade throws out about the world, and for anyone who doesn’t understand or love the same sect of pop culture Halliday enjoyed, Ready Player One is a tough read. But for readers in line with Cline’s obsessions, this is a guaranteed pleasure.
 
"Cline is an ingenious conjurer talented at translating high concept into compelling storytelling."

The breadth and cleverness of Mr. Cline’s imagination gets this daydream pretty far. But there comes a point when it’s clear that Wade lacks at least one dimension, and that gaming has overwhelmed everything else about this book.
tillagd av zhejw | ändraNew York Times, Janet Maslin (Aug 14, 2011)
 
"Video-game players embrace the quest of a lifetime in a virtual world; screenwriter Cline’s first novel is old wine in new bottles. "

Like most gunters, I voted to reelect Cory Doctorow and Wil Wheaton (again). There were no term limits, and those two geezers had been doing a kick-ass job of protecting user rights for over a decade.
It was the dawn of a new era, one where most of the human race now spent all of their free time inside a videogame.
