Ready Player One

If you grew up in the 80's, this book is both wish-fulfillment for your former child-self and a trip down memory lane. One of the best science fiction books of 2011, don't miss this one. Think Ender's Game meets the Thursday Next novels in 80's geek and chic culture.

The writing is brisk and the characters are well developed. Don't be surprised when you find yourself really rooting on Wade in his quest or wishing that the story could keep going on and on.
