Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow! I want to thank my friend Tania for highly recommending this to me. I read it with text-to-speech and I just couldn’t stop reading it. I think it will be even more fun on Audible where Wil Wheaton is the narrator, so I plan to order it next month and reread again soon.
I already miss being in the cyber world with Wade. This book isn’t for my generation. It is for my offspring’s generation. The list of games and early computers, the list of movies and music brings excitement for me vicariously mostly because I remember my children getting so excited about their games. Sure I was lucky to learn as I watched them absorb computereze. Commadore64 and Tandy Sensation were my first chances to go beyond snail mail and long-distance. I wrote to a friend on the BBs. Met many more online friends. My kids played game systems. This book brings the 80s and 90s back with a huge adventure!
If you get the chance read the book!

This is such a good book! I just finished reading it for maybe the 3rd time the other week ago. You sure do get caught up in this world of computer games that seem so real to the players. π

I can’t wait to listen to the Audible with Wil Wheaton. And now I need to rewatch the movie. Can’t wait for the sequel!

I haven’t seen the movie, and didn’t even know there was one until recently. I’ll bet it is good. π

I thought so. I want to watch again since reading.
