I rarely give out five stars, but Stephen King has outdone everything I've read this year. 11/22/63 is a fantastic time travel novel that brings an entirely new dimension to the genre. It's an everyman tale where there's no scientists or impossible technology. Just a simple man trying to make a difference. I do think the end dragged on just a little, but 11/22/63 ended in a great place not to lower its rating. Overall, a fantastic book and one I may revisit in the future.

I'd complain how slow this book was and how nothing happens the entire time, but GRRM may kill me.

Slow, drawn out, and overall it's boring. Aside from a few good scenes, this book has no business existing. I've never been so happier to have finished a book just so I can be done with it.

This was a solid follow-up to Off To Be The Wizard. A fun semi-mystery read with most of the fun of the first book. I look forward to more installments from this clever universe.

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!

Terrible book. Four chapters in and nothing happens. Gave up.

Slow at first but gains steam in the second half. I didn’t like the MC Lo and felt her to just be a not nice person. Her attitude about how she treats people just never changes even when her circumstances do. The plot was enough to keep me wanting to know more and that’s what got me through. A fast, summer read that was overall not too bad.
