Similiar how? There is some books similar to
Ready Player One in the sense of "addicted to virtual reality saving the world," but that does not seem to apply. The sample covers part of the first chapter. It cuts off just before it gets interesting. Or rather, more interesting. By then you should know if the writing style caught you. It is something about how it is written that I cannot put in words. By the end of chapter two the hook set in chapter one is sunk in completely and you will be along for the ride out of Kansas.
If the sample doesn't do it for you, the book might not be it. Very nice that First Reads allow to "Look Inside" if you use the desktop version of Amazon. I should have done that to not continue on.
Since nothing caught your eye, there really isn't any risk to try the sample. Other than maybe you cannot put it down.
