Many of my students have recommended this book to me, so I finally decided to read it, and I enjoyed it. I listened to the audiobook (at 2.5x speed) and followed along in the physical book, which added to the fast-paced storytelling.

There is a LOT of information and world building in this book. I wouldn’t say it was unnecessary, but I will say, at times, it was overwhelming and took away from the urgency of the hunt. I’m sure I would feel different if I was more into VR and video games.

I saw another reviewer say they liked how, even though most of the story takes place in a virtual reality, the characters still deal with real problems, and I completely agree.

I was definitely rooting for the main characters (the IOI can rot), but I didn’t really connect with any of them. But, again, I realize I might feel differently if I was still a teenager and/or more into VR and video games.

Wouldn’t recommend for younger readers. Lots of cursing, a few paragraph discussion on masturbation, and other brief mentions of things that can be found in the OASIS (like porn, etc.).

(old review 2014) One of the first books of the year and it has a potential to be one of my favorites of the year and probably of all time. Immediately after finishing this book I wanted to start over at the beginning because I know there's more to get out of this book. It covers so many controversial topics so well and had me laughing quite a bit at the same time. I also discovered I have more nostalgia for the twentieth century than I ever knew. A much in depth review well be coming soon but I absolutely recommend this book to everyone.
