Quick review ( Ready Player One - Ernest Cline )

Ready Player One was a pleasure to read from start to finish, and a must read for any gamer or 80's pop culture fans, USA TODAY sum the story up perfectly with " Willy Wonka meets The Matrix."

We get a relatable young hero, ( Wade / Parzival ) an evil corporation, ( IOI ) a believable love interest ( Art3mis ) and a quest to find a golden egg and take control of the OASIS a virtual utopia, users can be anyone or anything they desire, it's an almost perfect world and an escape from the miserable reality of real life.

Set in the year 2044 a time where thanks to James Halliday the OASIS creator the world has become obsessed with 1980's pop-culture  and Cline has filled his story with some many different reference from music, films and games each time putting a smile on my face and a memory back in my head.

With references from the famous " back to the future " DeLorean to Monty Pythons and the Holy Grail, one of my all time favourite films and of course the Atari 2600.

For me "Ready Player One" is an easy 10/10 and definitely one of the best books I've read in a long time and off the back of this I have already ordered Cline's second book "Armada."
