Ready Player Two

allofakind shared a tip "I'm not going to lie, the book started quite slow, only a week after the last book and then a three year time skip where everything has changed. And then it takes like 10 chapters for Wade to stop complaining and whining and being pathetic for any action to start. But once that action starts, it doesn't stop. As an avid DnD player, I read this book like a campaign transcript, and it was downright amazing. The references to 80s pop culture went over my head for sure, but the excitement the characters had for them made me want to become a gunter just to fully understand it all. The book juggles questions of morality and mortality very well, reminding us that those we hold so high are still human, and by definition we are faulty. And yet, it is because of our humanity that we can look back, realize our mistakes, and work to fix them. Comparing this to the first book, I think I liked the writing more in RP1 (if i had to read "the details were so intricately, lovingly designed" one more time...), but I think the themes and final chapter in this one is a lot more impactful. I truly love the epilogue of this book and its worth reading just to get to it. It's always good when the science fiction is believable enough to be science fact."

rae_smith_7205 shared a tip "It isn't as great as the first but it's a sequel...still really enjoyed. As my nephew said the less you think about it the better it is."

robin_george shared a tip "The authors knowledge of 1980s/1990s pop culture, his ability to create a futuristic world that captures the attention, and his complicated emotional characters makes for a pretty great ride of a book."

michael_hunter_9736 shared a tip "Not a bad follow up. Seems a bit forced at times and some parts didn't match with what we already know about the characters personality but overall pretty good."

hellokaela shared a tip "Not as good as the first. There are some surprising and shocking character developments that just don’t make sense. Still had fun."

karen_pollock shared a tip "My favorite part is when he gets himself 5aken into indentured servitude to win. He really will do anything. Oh and when he gets the perfect score on pacman. This really is a favorite. As I remember most of the 80's lol"

destinee_duffy shared a tip "Amazing amazing amazing. Flowed from Ready Player One right into Ready Player Two. You are picking up right where Parzival left off. I can't say enough. I LOVE THE REFRENCES. 10/10 😍😍😍"

mark_hainey shared a tip "Really enjoyed the direction the author had taken the story i will say the start was a little boring but it took off and never slowed down after"

cole_buzbee shared a tip "You have to read the original book first. It is a book that expands on the events in the last that gives back ownership of the OASIS to book fans rather than the movies that butchered the original"

daniebabie shared a tip "Had chills and teared up at a couple of parts. The first book was my father figure’s favorite before he passed and there was a few moments I know he would’ve loved. One of the *parts* had me fully immersed because of the love I have for a certain franchise."
