ahhhh.. finished

i liked it, it was a fun read. it was like reading a really big adventure game. i loved the game within a game type stuff. oh and the 80's stuff was pretty awesome, there were maybe a couple of instances where i didn't know exactly what he was talking about but for the most part i got it all.

Spoiler:

the book displayed a wide range of emotions and i'm glad i picked it up and read it. from the description i would have given it a tron / matrix feel but after reading it i can't give it any type of feel i think it stands on its own and others will be like 'ready player one'.

Spoiler: the ending was kind of predictable, you knew that they were all going to meet and they'd fall in love etc etc, it almost played out and ended like a classic 80's movie. and even though there were no twists and turns at the end there i'm so glad they lived and won...as i was reading i was saying to myself that if Wade sacrifices himself and dies i'll be really upset. his plan inside IOI was cool, but it almost went too quick for me. i know there was a timeline / deadline with regards to how much time he had available but i felt like there was something missing in that part of the book. i also know that the books core was OASIS and that any time spent out of it was just to set something up inside of it. the book displayed a wide range of emotions and i'm glad i picked it up and read it. from the description i would have given it a tron / matrix feel but after reading it i can't give it any type of feel i think it stands on its own and others will be like 'ready player one'.
