Book Review - Ready Player One - Ernest Cline

Ready Player OneReady Player One by Ernest Cline
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In a world where the virtual reality is more common place than reality itself, there's another game that's being played. One that's a giant riddle in a realm that's immense and its winner takes all.

Wade's only way out of a world that seems to be slowly dying because of pollution and economic downfall is the OASIS system created by James Halliday. The same James Halliday that hid an Easter Egg (something hidden in the game where clues are given as to where it is) in the system that could make the dreams of the finder come true. Millions of people were searching for it and Wade was one of those who searched for it for five years. Then it happened, he figured out the first clue. Everything changed after that.

I adored this book. It was new and something completely different. I loved the references from all fandoms. Throughout the whole book I was thinking, I know that one and that one and that one! The twists and turns of it all kept me riveted to the story and I just had to know what happened in the end. And I wasn't disappointed.

I would definitely recommend this story to others.
