Complicated
This is very much a YA book, but is fully of 80s references that most YA readers are too young to understand. The plot and setting has potential but Cline is so focused on info dumping and making 80s references that not enough thought is put on the plot itself. Wade is an incredibly unlikeable self insert character/ author surrogate (Cline has a car that is a replica of Wade's car in the OASIS).
