Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
3.0
Really a 3.5 star rating. Honestly can't wait now to watch the movie.
This wasn't a terrible book by any means. I enjoyed the story, characters, and theme of RPO. I'll more than likely read the second book, but I'm in no rush to do so.
My only dislike about it was the pacing. It felt slow and I understand we have to have the world built for us yet it felt at times there was pieces of information being repeated which took me out of the story. Once you're out of the story it's hard to get back in. The first 80 pages I would say I forced myself to get through simply because I wanted to know how Wade would overcome a lot of the issues. I'll even say there were times I skimmed through it rather than read each word because it was either going over what was already given or I guessed it would happen.
However the plot was one to keep reading for. The search for the egg, the Sixers, and the risk of life is what kept me reading. The small dose of romance was an added bonus but even without it I believe this book would have gotten the same rating from me.
My favorite turnout was Aech, which I won't spoil. It speaks about a lot in this current world even as this whole thing does with the way our current America is going. I would probably suggest this book to gamer friends.
