Ready Player One

Set in the future, Ready Player One is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy geek adventure. As technology advances with time, the enviornment is horrible, and for some, living in the real world unbearable.This is where OASIS comes in. OASIS is a video game-no, more like a virtual galaxy. A player uses a visor of their head and then use there mouth and movements to control their character. Overtime the game became wildly popular and most everybody that could, played it. But when it's creator dies, he leaves a quest in his will, and whoever completes the very difficult quest first, earns his fortune of billions of dollars.Let the games begin.

What I Liked About It:
 I usually don't tend to read geeky computer/video game novels but this one really stuck out. It seemed much more than a fantasy world, since it included all of the events and games that we have today. Also, the creativity of the author, Ernest Cline, is so imaginative which makes it very fun.

What I Didn't Like About It:

The only thing that made it confusing, was since I didn't know all of the video games, movies, and TV that were mentioned. But I easily figured it out.
