Ready Player One follows the story of Wade Watts and his search for a hidden fortune left by an eccentric millionaire. Wade is a very likable character who lives in poverty. His life sucks, so he uses the OASIS as an escape from reality.

To me the story is part 80′s gaming adventure and part story. Once I started reading I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I enjoyed living in the virtual world that was created, but once I put the book down I was out of the world. Then it would start over again. It is hard to explain. For me, it wasnt a page turner, but I enjoyed stepping into the world once I picked it back up.

I believe this book would appeal to people who love playing video games and 80′s references. I would not recommend this to people who are not interested in either of these. I especially wonder if those that know nothing about the 80′s would enjoy this story? I would hesitate to suggest it to them. Otherwise I would say pick it up. It is a fun read.
