Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
RPG Geeks Unite! I wish I could give this book 6 stars honestly. How can this possibly be Ernest Cline’s first book!? First things first, the depth of the characters and plot is thick. Thick like the Hobbit or Hunger Games thick. And intricate! However, much like the other two books, he never gets lost in the details. It’s difficult to imagine how this book would be perceived by someone without a geek background. The references are everywhere. The author has a thorough knowledge of the evolution of game programming and role playing games and weaves through this beautiful dystopian novel. Must read!
