Review summary

This seller has earned a 3.98 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
3.98 / 5 (2714 total reviews)

Readers split sharply on Ready Player One. Many praised its propulsive, puzzle-driven adventure and expansive virtual-reality world, saying the 1980s pop-culture scaffolding made it irresistibly fun—especially in Wil Wheaton’s widely acclaimed audiobook. Others objected to clunky, expository prose, thin or juvenile characterization and romance, convenient plotting, and an overreliance on reference lists that can feel pandering or exclusionary. Some also flagged representation issues and a simplistic villain. Enjoyment often tracked with nostalgia: 80s-savvy readers tended to delight in it, while others found it hollow or exhausting.

From the publisher

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Now a major motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg.

"Enchanting . . . Willy Wonka meets The Matrix."--USA Today - "As one adventure leads expertly to the next, time simply evaporates."--Entertainment Weekly

A world at stake. A quest for the ultimate prize. Are you ready?

In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days.

When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune--and control of the OASIS itself.

Then Wade cracks the first clue. Suddenly he's beset by rivals who'll kill to take this prize. The race is on--and the only way to survive is to win.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Entertainment Weekly - San Francisco Chronicle - Village Voice - Chicago Sun-Times - iO9 - The AV Club

"Delightful . . . the grown-up's Harry Potter."--HuffPost

"An addictive read . . . part intergalactic scavenger hunt, part romance, and all heart."--CNN

"A most excellent ride . . . Cline stuffs his novel with a cornucopia of pop culture, as if to wink to the reader."--Boston Globe

"Ridiculously fun and large-hearted . . . Cline is that rare writer who can translate his own dorky enthusiasms into prose that's both hilarious and compassionate."--NPR

"[A] fantastic page-turner . . . starts out like a simple bit of fun and winds up feeling like a rich and plausible picture of future friendships in a world not too distant from our own."--iO9
