Unfunny, boring, and just downright weird. If Warren Ellis was looking for a comedy angle with oddball humor, he greatly missed the mark. I only finished it because it was only 5-hours on audio.
Ready Player One is a gratuitous trip through the 80's, complete with tons of video game, movie and pop culture references. While mixing it with a Matrix-like system that keeps the book high-tech, Ready Player One is a welcome trip down memory lane. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did and I applaud Cline for sending me back to the 80's. Well done!
An interesting plot but a slow read. Has enough hooks to keep going but was tough to come back to it every few days. Also hard to keep track of so many characters.
Had such high hopes for this and Gaiman really disappointed. Never clicked for me. The longer it went on, the less interested I became.
