I read this book originally back in 2020, and finally got around to listening to the audio book. I love this book, the great pop culture references, the notes of the decline of the world and humanity, and specifically such a great sci-fi adventure story. Wade's character development, as well as his general outlook on life is the exact type of character arc I love to see. My one favorite reference is specifically Rush, my dad's favorite rock band. Just the nod to the bands work just made my soul happy. ( ) I loved every second of this book. Though I read this one as an ebook, I am SERIOUSLY considering getting a hard copy to actually place among my precious home library selections. I’m ashamed of how long it took for me to actually decide to read it. Right from the beginning, I knew I would like this book – I mean, what’s not to love about a story that promises an escape as the main character himself escapes into a futuristic, virtual world?! From start to finish, I liked everything in this book; the 80’s pop culture nostalgia, the video game, movie, and music references, the futuristic/dystopian setting, and a misunderstood, outcast youth. A recipe for perfection in my book. Now, I was born in the 80’s but I didn’t get a chance to experience some of the references in real time. It wasn’t until I was older, in the late 90’s, that I ventured into the content from the decade before. I wasn’t able to feel nostalgia about everything that was referenced, but I found that I still awe-inspired by all of them Cline wrote into this story (there are a TON!). I’m not much of a gamer in any capacity because honestly…I suck most – if not all – games. However, I really enjoyed the gaming history referenced in this book despite my abominable gaming skills. While I loved the elements of this book, I also thoroughly enjoyed the writing. I got lost…..When I can get “lost” in a book, it’s magical. I can generally “get into” just about any book, but to get lost in one….that’s something only an elite group of authors have done for me. The writing and plot structure made this possible. Full Review: https://wanderinglectiophile.wordpress.com/2018/01/10/review-ready-player-one-by... Honestly, this book was okay. It was a quick read and although the experience wasn't a bad one, I felt very meh about it. The world was the strongest point by far. With the way the world is crumbling around us it makes a lot of sense that people want to escape into into a virtual one and surround themselves with nostalgia. The concept of the OASIS is a cool one as well. The plot was okay although it didn't always make sense While the reading experience was pleasant enough I didn't actually like this book. I would love to see something more nuanced done with this idea, but I do get why others love it so much. 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.
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. "Video-game players embrace the quest of a lifetime in a virtual world; screenwriter Cline’s first novel is old wine in new bottles.

"In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the Oasis. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines -- puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win -- and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape"--Page 2 of cover.
