This is the complete geeks guide to the 80's and the scariest thing is how many of the references I knew.

Combine Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Matrix, your favorite MMORPG, and 80s trivia and you've got Ready Player One. If you grew up in the 80s, the flashbacks and the trivia combined with the sci-fi spin make this a great and fun read.

Sci fi 80s nostalgia. Gamer Vs the man. You don't need to have played the games to enjoy the adventure

One of the most entertaining books I have read in a long time. The writing is great, and the characters are well fleshed out and real.

This book was great! I know next-to-nothing about video games but that really didn't matter since the plot and narration were so good--it's more than just a nostalgia-fest.

If you lived through the '80s, you'll love the nostalgia. The plot doesn't hurt either.

Great video-game read, or 80s reference manual.

epiplectic recommended this 1 year, 9 months ago

A fun pulpy read with enough nostalgia for a gen x-er, and other future-y nuggets for the youngin's. Not quite literature, but a page turner satisfying enough to keep you involved and wanting to read into the middle of the night.

Salvarsan recommended this 1 year, 9 months ago

A genuinely fun read. Think of Snow Crash with a little "Goonies" vibe thrown in.

derrick-harris recommended this 1 year, 9 months ago
