I have to start off this review by saying that I am really not a fan of dystopian books, shows or movies so I may be a little biased.

When Wade found the first Easter Egg I was so excited. I thought “heck yes, the action is about to begin!”. Well, I was pretty disappointed to find out that the rest of the book was just going to be slow and him basically worshiping this girl who he has never met and being self-deprecating.

Another point that bothered me was that he went from being a guy who lived in the dumps to getting the most expensive hotel room and putting in these magic walls that are essentially impenetrable. I get that we are supposed to see him as scrappy due to the fact that he was still able to get to the OASIS even though he was some super poor kid but the jump just seemed very unrealistic.

Overall the story was fine, but very predictable.
