I have too, yesterday. Be kind, rewind.

Finished Dust few days ago. And then jumped into Ready Player One and finished that yesterday. Have to agree about it being a good book. Have to disagree that it is more enjoyable than Skin Game - it is different. A book in the middle of a great series is somehow not comparable to a standalone finished story. I enjoyed both very much.

A few things I did not like about Ready Player One:
Spoiler:
  • start of level 2 is a bit over the top - going from poor to way too rich
  • some time inconsistences - one time he been in his appartment for six months, than it was a year ago since he cleared the first gate. Wade left right after the trailer blew up and it only took a few days to Columbus. A timeline with events and exact dates might have helped keeping all passed times straight?
  • no download link for all the emulators and games mentioned.
