Exciting. Suspenseful. Outstanding. I know that many people who love this book are those who grew up in the 80s; It's an endless waterfall of 80s references, anyways. Well I'm going to admit that 90% of them flew over my head, me growing up in the time of ebooks and iPhones, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy this book. It's now one of my favorites, too. Cline wrote Ready Player One so miraculously. The society is something you'd exprect from an episode of Black Mirror: a world where this virtual reality is practically real life for most people. The story is like a mix of House of Secrets by Chris Columbus and Ned Vizzini and Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein, but for young and older adults. The main character, Wade, is funny and relatable, even while being down to earth about this messed up society. This odd combination of characteristics makes the novel fun to read and enjoy. I'd recommend Ready Player One to anyone who hasn't read it
