Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline
2.0

The author tried to recreate the success of Ready Player One but came up short. Lots of small, unnecessary things explained that didn’t need to be just to fill pages...including being very repetitive (thanks Captain Obvious, you just said that 3x).

Also did a lot of brand dropping (similar to name dropping) over and over, often in the same sentence, in an attempt to build a similar 80’s vibe (and fill more pages). Just didn’t work for me. Overall the book was ‘meh’ and fell flat for me.
