This is my go to book whenever I'm in a reading slump. I can just whizz through the pages and it gets me excited about reading again. I like how there are almost two stories running in parallel with real life and the world inside the OASIS. The world building is amazing and could be expanded on so much as well. I like the puzzle aspects as well and how it isn't immediately obvious to the characters what the solution is.
I didn't understand all of the 80s references but that didn't take away from the book. Everything was explained so you could know what it was without having come across that media before.
