I want to live in the OASIS.

Any time I want a light easy read or need a pick-me-up I turn to Ready Player One. The words are always the same, but the adventures of Parzival, Art3mis, and Aech never disappoint me. I love all of it. The impossible odds, the love story, the puzzles. Every single bit is a piece of magic. The references to old video games, movies, television and everything else are like pieces of my past dripping off the page.

I cant' stress this enough. If you're wondering “should I read this book?” the answer is an emphatic YES! Everyone I've suggested it to has loved it.

The only complaint I have is that I know the answers to the puzzle as soon as I read the clue, but that's what happens when you read a book over and over.

If you want a special treat, check out the audiobook read by Wil Wheaton.
