A review by shermanberry
Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline
3.0
I really, really, really wanted to give this 5 stars as I did for Ready Player One. I was equal parts nervous and excited to read a sequel.
As a self-confessed nerd and kid who grew up in the 80s there is a lot in here to push my buttons and scratch my nostalgia itch.
Whilst the premise of the ONI headset was cool and the quest was good, I didn’t ever get totally absorbed like I did with the original.
If you liked the original you will like this but tone down your expectations. It’s not as good.
Whilst I can’t blame the author for writing a sequel, part of me wishes he had left Ready Player One as a stand alone.
