Ready, Player One (+GAs)

no clue wich book it is... thou i lately have fallen behind on my reading xD and damm i suck with img editing software cant check whats on the other side of the puzzle xD but i think i saw some snes there

I found it by accident. And yes, it's surprisingly good book!

It was pretty good, but because of the insane amount of hype around it and people saying it was their favourite book of all-time...I was a bit disappointed. I thought it often felt like throwing out references for no reason, rather than incorporating it in conversations or referencing it for reasons OTHER than just to prove how much he knew. I also really disliked the romance/ending. Otherwise it was a fun book, just not as hype worthy imo as people made it sound. :)

It's pretty poor writing, but certainly a fun read. I am really looking forward to Spielberg's adaptation, I think it will work much better as a film.

I enjoyed it at first since I'm a huge fan of the genre, but as I kept reading it started feeling more and more like a case of wish-fulfillment on the author's part and it began to grate on my nerves.

Never heard about that book. Maybe I'll check it out.

I haven't read it, but I may watch the movie.

Bump, thank you! :-)

never heard of this book before
aand i will never solve the puzzle
thank you for the train!
no excuse for trains needed ;3

Thanks !

its pretty fun, im not that much of a 90's kid as i did grow up on a different culture but managed to get most of the refereces, my only nickpick with the book was that the characters were a bit too simple, the stereotypical hero, love interest, rival that becomes friend, guide father figure and evil evil guy.

Bump

What book is it?

Heard it is going to be adapted by Spielberg. Will definitely watch it!

I read Ready, Player One a while ago. I'm fairly certain I enjoyed it, but as I said, been a while. Maybe worth rereading. Or listen to the audiobook, read by wil wheaton.

Bump, thank you for the train!

Read it a couple of times, enjoyed it a couple of times. Might watch the film. Not quite in the same class as Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson if you've not heard of it) or Tad Williams' Otherland series, but still a fun read.

Bump!

BUMP ^_^

Thank you for the ride bump

I am planning on reading the other book of him "Armada" I think it's called, there is a lot of hype for RPO but when you avoid that, is a pretty awesome book, although it gets pretty cliche for a while ^^

What are the GAs after the puzzle?

I've listened to the Ready Player One audio book a long time ago. I really enjoyed it; I think I listened right from beginning to end without a break haha. I'm actually a bit young for a lot of the references, but I enjoyed it regardless. :)
