A few good scenes mixed with a plot that is unsatisfying and filled with intentionally-withheld information time and time again. It's a trick that gets old real quick. 

The book could be almost 100 pages shorter but continues into unnecessary territory to tell more of a story than is needed, as if it had to be drawn out to pass some checkpoint. 

A heartfelt final chapter ends in the most unsatisfying way. 

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!

An interesting plot but a slow read. Has enough hooks to keep going but was tough to come back to it every few days. Also hard to keep track of so many characters. 

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.

Unfunny, boring, and just downright weird. If Warren Ellis was looking for a comedy angle with oddball humor, he greatly missed the mark. I only finished it because it was only 5-hours on audio.
