A review by aim_mee223
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, J. Pekka Mäkelä
2.0
2.5 stars.
Ready Player One was extremely flat and lifeless. There is barely any merit to this novel except for its setting in a futuristic world. A lot of it is telling you what happened, frequently info-dumping. Many people love the use of 80s references, however it was overused. There was too much name dropping throughout. And there was barely any character development and it really bored me. Also, there the issues concerning technology weren't explored or were touched on which was really disappointing. But on a positive note, I did love the friendship between Aech and Parzival.
