A review by aldoregan
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

3.0

Reading Ready Player One felt like I was riding a rollercoaster. I was already hyped up from the very beginning because I’ve been wanting to read this book for years, and then there’s a movie coming out real soon as well. There were a lot of ups in the story, a lot of exhilarating moments. However, there were a lot of downs and meh moments too. My main problem with this book was the inconsistency of the pace. It would be action-packed one chapter then lackluster the next. However, that doesn’t entirely mean I didn’t enjoy this book. I love the fact that this was published 6 years ago (if I’m not mistaken) but there was already diversity among the characters. I love the imaginative concept of the world within the game. The storyline was very intriguing as well. One of the reasons why it took me so long to pick this book up (eventhough I’ve wanted to read it for a long time) was because I initially thought the 80s reference was going to ruin the story for me, but it really didn’t. Eventhough the references went over my head, fortunately it didn’t really have an effect to my reading experience. It’s a fun book. I wasn’t really blown away, but it was good and enjoyable. I’m really excited to see how the movie turns out.
