when i first started ready player one, i wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. the thing that threw me off most was how geeky and immature the narrator sounded, which i’m sure was done on purpose because the main character is a teen who games all day and has no other life outside of his vr world. while i didn’t really enjoy this type of narration style, i thought that cline made a phenomenal world with so many intricate details relating both to the past and the future. i wasn’t even born in the 80s but found myself feeling nostalgic and excited about all the movies, music, pop culture, and media from that time. i also really loved the concept of humanity choosing to live in VR and ignore what is going on irl, since i feel like we are slowly straying towards that path today.. i think this book will be enjoyed by anyone who holds respect and love for gaming and tech in general. 4/5 stars!
