Começo este pequeno comentário afirmando que há muito tempo que não encontrava um livro que me esse tanto prazer ler, ou cuja leitura me entusiasmasse tanto, como este "Ready Player One" de Ernest Cline. É um livro soberbo que entra diretamente na meu top 5 exclusivo dos livros que normalmente classificamos como os livros da nossa vida.

But I found it to be a very fun listen, and the worst part was when it ended and I could not find any other audio books by the same author!
