This is one of the few audio books that I've listened to. The story was interesting but I thought some parts were dragged out a bit too much. I don't know how many times I wanted to fast forward it just to get to the next action part. I enjoyed all of the 80's stuff, I just thought it was too wordy at times.

This was a book unlike any other, genuinely felt like I was in the OASIS; felt like I was inside an adventure. So much to take away from this book, so much it reflects who we are as a society. I was kind of disappointed with how it ended on something I perceived as a subplot, but still a remarkable book I won’t forget.
