Ready Player One was a very entertaining page-turning read. A ridiculously fun story, once you get towards the finale you won’t want it to end. A must read for anyone infatuated with the 70’s and 80’s

The book grabs your attention from page one, and it’s a page turner as you want to get to the end to find out what happens. A fun story about video games and 80’s and 90’s pop culture. Can’t wait for the move to come out!
