A review by nerdyreferencelibrarian89
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
5.0
This is the 4th time I have read/listened to this book. I love it. It has nerd references for everyone, likable characters, great action, and some nice social commentary. I cannot recommend this high enough to fans of fantasy, science fiction, video games, or nerd culture, its fun, fast paced, and ends in one book, rather then a long drawn out series.
*Update* I reread this book again (5th or 6th time), because I am leading a book discussion group on it (at least that is the excuse I told myself as I devoured it in three days). This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite books, I didn't grow up in the '80s; however, the inundation of old school nerd stuff, like video games, RPGs, D&D, and anime is extremely cool and comforting. Everytime I finish this book I find myself wanting to jump in an try to beat some of the old school 2D rpgs I have from GOG.
If you are a nerd, and haven't read it, you should!
