A review by sarah_brant
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

4.0

I am not someone that is majorly into video games, so while many of the references were new to me, it was a very fun read that the author clearly is very passionate about. I thought I had figured out the plot several times, but the author managed to surprise me! This book is perfect for someone that loves an epic story, some slight romance, and pop culture references.

The majority of the novel focuses on life in a virtual reality and there was a significant parallel between this virtual reality and how much society spends with their nose in social media. A great reminder to unplug and live in the real world!
