Hey, guys! After struggling to find an action/adventure book that wasn't exactly like another book I've read, a friend recommended Ready Player One. I really enjoyed it! It's a perfect mix of nerdy and dorky. If you like books, pop culture, video games, action/adventure, or really anything else, you'd like this book.

The Cover:
It's simple, which I like. The "c" looks like Pacman and the "o" has an avatar jumping for a key, a main part of this book. I like it (except for the "a novel," Why do they always add that?). A+ cover
Official Description:
In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines, puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. When Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape.
My Review:
This book was just great. I knew I was going to love it within the first twenty pages. There weren't really any slow moments. The plot moved fast, despite six-month gaps between plot points. It was engaging and energetic.
The characters are three-dimensional. Wade experienced some extreme character development over the course of the book. The other characters were also as complex as they could be, given their "air time" in the book. It was very focused on Wade's character, so the other characters were not nearly as significant.
Don't worry if you have no knowledge on video games before reading this. I haven't had much exposure and had no problem following the story. Prior knowledge might enhance your enjoyment, but it is definitely not necessary.
The writing style was humorous and action-packed. It was smart, dorky, and quirky. Perfect.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Ready Player One. It was fun and exciting. Definitely a great read.
