I know it’s a little early but this might be my favourite book of the year. I couldn’t put this down. I really felt like I was watching a movie or in the oasis instead of reading a book. I really enjoyed all of the video game and retro pop-culture references. Sections that could be considered slow to others regarding world or character building were actually some of my favourite parts as it added another layer to the experience. I “buddy read” this book with my husband and it was so nice to chat along the way about what we thought. We both flew through reading the book and then celebrated by watching the movie which I think felt more inspired by the book than an actual movie of the book.
