Ready Player One by Ernest ClineMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I've already watched the movie at this point, so I found it fun to kind of follow along with the plot of this story for the most part. This was a very nostalgic experience for me, and I've already been a gamer since my experiences with the Atari, so I was able to get most of the tech and video game references.
The audiobook is narrated by Wil Wheaton, and the experience of listening to this track could have only been improved a bit if the talents of George Takei had been included to read for the parts that involved Daito and Shoto. However, I found listening to this audiobook a wonderful experience, and finished it up in only 3 days. :)
If you choose to take on this journey across the vast Oasis, IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS (sword)...and get ready for the hefty bit of geekdom set before you. If you are a fan of video gaming in any aspect, and you enjoy dystopian reads, you will probably enjoy reading this book. It involves a grand quest, danger (drat those sixers), epic adventure, tragedy and a bit of romance.
