Book 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. But 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 was a very fun read with lots of reference to the 80's pop culture. I don't typically read sci-fi but I was totally engaged in this book. It is a book full of adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat from the first page until the last. I found it to be a great story with unique characters and plot. I'm looking forward to reading another book by Ernest Cline in the future and hopefully, I will like it as much as I liked this one. If you've got an interest in video games and 80s pop culture, you'll love this book.
