The Importance of Being Ernest by Ernest Cline
5.0
If you loved Ready Player One as I did, I urge you to pick this up.
I'm not normally a fan of 'slam' poetry, preferring my poetry in the classical style, and I do feel as though the endings to some of these pieces could have been stronger (Cunning Linguistics aside), but that having been said - I enjoyed every second of this collection.
Every sentiment rang true, and worded in a way I can only describe as 'genius' (the first stanza of 'When I was a Kid' is particularly good). I've read a lot recently that didn't align with my outlook, so it was a beautiful thing to read a collection that felt as though it was written purely for me.
