Clear voice, stark descriptions, and delightful, relatable writing.

Cline codes a gripping plot line and quality characters with Ready Player One. As a non-video-game-player with hardly any knowledge of the 80s, I was still able to fully participate in the intensity and excitement of this tale filled with 80s trivia and a futuristic hardly any face to face interaction. A must read for anyone addicted to underdog success stories!

An interesting book filled with tension that artfully leaps viewpoints and uses a list at every chapter. Butler did an excellent job at bringing the reader along for the ride and still being playful. Although the perspective is not as intimate as I prefer, the disembodied viewpoint sets up the feelings of grief that both main characters are feeling acutely.
