I guess I was expecting to follow an adventure and solve puzzles along side the characters. Not what the story is interested in. Oh well.

even though i'm a little too young (or too little of a game nerd) to understand most of the niche 80s game references, i still enjoyed them all.
the world—the stacks, the OASIS, etc.—is so incredibly interesting and made my video-game (and reality-hating) heart do flips of joy.
10/10, so much better than the movie.

Kind of a bummer, because I think this book had a lot of potential. I still liked it though, and I’ll probably check out the sequel. I can definitely see why this was adapted into a movie and I’ll be checking that out too.

Overall, I found the narrative quite tiring, very long and repetitive. The world described in this book is very depressing... On the other hand, I think that the author is very creative, and I did appreciate the overall storyline - that's the reason I give this book three stars.
