Ready Player One is a phenomenal book filled to the brim with action, adventure, and enough pop culture and gaming references to keep you on your toes! Ernest Cline brings us a brilliant story of friendship, loyalty, in a fantastic VR wonderland that's slowly falling apart. - Rhiarn (QBD)

I really enjoyed "Ready Player One". I found it very reminiscent of the film "Tron" that I first saw in the eighties. However, Cline had his own take on being sucked into a video game virtual reality world.
There was lots of action and adventure, good versus evil, a David and Goliath scenario, all with a challenging puzzle and a fabulous prize for the winner of the game.
Even if you did not grow up in the 1980's era, many references will be familiar if your parents still listen to music and talk about what happend then. I liked the references to pop culture, it was nostalgic, and all around an entertaining story. - Kerryn (QBD)

Don’t forget, Ready Player One is now also a major motion picture which means it’s a perfect time to brush on this novel before a trip to the movies to see all the characters you love come to the big screen.
If you’re a fan of graphic novels and anime such as Sword Art Online, or Log Horizon you’ll thoroughly enjoy the escapism on offer from Cline. Ready Player One is also suitable for mature kids and teenagers looking to expand their reading regime if they loved authors such as Rick Riordan and Terry Pratchett. Now, strap yourself in and get ready player one, the games are about to begin. - Liam (QBD)

If you love 80's pop culture, MMO's and generally awesome things, like a well hidden easter egg, then you need to have this book in your hand right now. There should be no humming or harring about purchasing this book because you will regret not immersing yourself in a nostalgic world that's slowly dying. Jump right into the OASIS with Wade as he follows the riddles from the founder, James Halliday, to win the ulitmate prize. Read it first before it becomes a movie! - Chelsea (QBD)

Ready Player One is an excellenet blend of fantasy and dystopian fiction and a very well regarded debut novel by Ernest Cline.
It is a number one pick for fans of video games and 80s culture as it makes consistent references to various pop culture trends in music, film and video games and systems from the decade.
It was very hard to put down with dramatic twists and moments that kept the reader on their toes. - Joshua (QBD)
