Ready Player Two
by Ernest Cline
The 1st 20% of the book is info-dump on what the gang has been up to for 3 years. Nearly all of it is just teen drama. Same old tropes, tech, science, and law errors as the first book. Same old 80s schtick that we've come to love but without plot originality. The villain doesn't appear until about a third of the way in and the plot holes are sizable.
Luckily the magic come on before the end, at about the halfway mark. It shines best when the focus is on the story rather than geeking out. The whole 80s theme should be a vehicle for the story NOT the story itself. Worth the effort but not as great as the first book. *B*.
