Ready Player One: A Novel Audiobook

" just endless references to stuff you might have liked "

" I really enjoyed this book! I plowed through it in a day and a half! "

" fascinating setting and lots of cool nerd trivia "

" Being a child of the 80s this book took me back to a point in my childhood in a completely different way. I couldn't believe the amount of 80s references and the accuracy of them. Then you introduce the Oasis... a virtual MMORPG that we can only love and fear at the same time. I've now listened to the book 3 times on my way to and from work as well as read the book once. If you are a child of the 80s and remember when cartoons, TV shows and toys were real and actually fun, you need to read this book... I can't even begin to explain how the enjoyment of this book. It has a permanent spot, on my iPhone, iPad, and bookshelf... Yep, bought all 3. Hehe. "

" There is a strong feeling of a target audience here, and I matched spot-on. The numerous references to 80s pop culture integrated well with the story of a greater struggle. It's an appropriate tribute to the birth years of gaming, and the numerous experiments by small development teams which have since grown into more industrialised proportions. The futuristic twist of the era in the book gives some mindcandy to dwell on, so the experience isn't a boring history lesson. "

" A funny book with an amazing amount of 80's trivia. "

" Such a great book, set in the not so distant future. Loaded with tons of nostalgia and a riveting fast paced action sci-fi adventure that kept me glued to it, until it was over. "

" I enjoy the blasts from the past of this one! Especially since it is from my past, it seems...the writing is okay, the plot is good enough to keep me reading. It really is like a seek n find of 80s nostalgia, which is quite enjoyable and a good escape. "

" My 13 year old son and i both enjoyed this book. Very mild and accessible fantasy gamer adventure. "

" I absolutely loved this book and would recommend it highly. "

" Loved this audio book. Such a great story! "

" Great, one of the best book about fantasy and sci fi I ever read. So fun. "

" A fun, quick read, especially if you grew up playing video games in the eighties. The continual references to eighties pop culture were accurate and tightly interwoven with the story. "

" Most fun I've had reading it a while! You will especially love this book if you grew up in the 80's, love video games, or are kinda nerdy :) but the story is amazing and anyone can get into it! "

" Can not wait to read what Mr. Cline writes next. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Being a computer nerd in the 80's I could really relate to everything which made it all the better. Incredibly fun read for those of us who enjoyed Videogames, Computers, D&D and 80's movies. "

" Loved it! A recommendation from books on the nightstand was so interesting I picked the book up full of doubt and finished it in a weekend. All the 80's references were such fun. Reminded me of skipping work with a friend to play galaga and miss PAC man all day. "

" Good geeky fun. I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did. In addition to the pop-culture references, I have a thing for dystopian settings. "

" A fun, quick read full of nostalgia and mad geekery. Not literature, but enjoyable. "

" The writing was somewhat sophomoric, but the story was compelling and kept me engaged. Lots of deus ex machina moments. I'm rating it as high as I am because despite its shortcomings, I really couldn't put it down. "

" Very well done for a first novel from the author! There were plenty of plot twists and turns; many of them predictable, but the story was never slow or dry. I sped through this book faster than most. Very good book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good read. "

" Best book I've read this year. Absolutely fantastic. "

" If you ever played coin-operated video games, or loved Dungeons & Dragons. If you love near-future SF, this book is for you. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and almost literally could not put it down. "

" Simply awesome. For a gamer nerd who grew up in the 1980s, this book managed to pull up so many great memories for me that there were times I fought back tears. "

" So good this book has consoummed me and I can't stop reading it over and over. I had to buy the audio book so I can drive safely. "

" This was a lot of fun, and I think anyone born between the mid-60s and the mid-70s would really enjoy it. The entire book is filled with references to 80s pop culture, and you are constantly going "I remember that!" "

" The best fiction book I've read this year. Couldn't put it down. "

" Mostly harmless. Willy Wonka meets Snow Crash. "

" Being a fan of the 80s, SciFi AND video games, I loved this story. Some slow parts here and there. This is a book thats begging to be made into a unique grand movie. Can't wait to see it! "

" Is this a great book? No. Was the writing flawless? No. Did I love it anyway? Heck yeah! Loved the walk down memory lane, for sure. I've read some biting criticisms of this book, but come on people! Take it for what it is and enjoy the ride! "
