Wow. I absolutely loved this book. I am not a gamer or a "nerd" in that sense, by any means (although I am a nerd in other areas), but I was totally absorbed in the world of Ready Player One. What a unique concept for a competition and a world. I cannot wait to see the movie adaptation of this one-the possibilities are endless. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed The Maze Runner or Harry Potter. It's a different kind of quest that leaves you at the edge of your seat. Definitely rec

Did you know that people can feel two things at once?! The MC does that a lot.

Excellent! Since I finished the book, I keep finding comparisons to the read world and wanting to watch 80s movies. I highly recommend this book.
This was a fun read. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes video games and/or 80's pop culture.
