Description: In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines—puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them.

But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape.


Hello Readers.

Some books come with so much hype that I tend to stay as far away from them as I possibly can. This one kept being brought back into my life. It ended up being a monthly read for a book group that I am in so I bought it. It was as though the stars had finally aligned to lead me to reading this book.

People kept recommending it but I did not expect to like it. To be honest, I didn't really want to like it. So much hype. The fact that it is being made into a movie just fueled the fire. I sat down with a hot tea to my left and thought, "Let's get through this. It can't possibly be that good."

Before I knew it, I owned it in multiple formats. I could not get enough of it. I related to the characters. I loved the premise. It made me think of all those video games that I played when younger. So many pop culture references. I got most of the references and would chuckle some when I remembered the past. So much nostalgia.

Not only did I like this book but I have already bought the other book by this author. I am rating this book Five Blue Books because I honestly cannot find fault in it. I loved how it took me back. I loved how it made me want to play all the old video games again. It was written by a true fanboy and you can feel it. I honestly am in shock at how much I loved this book. I will be highly likely to recommend it to possibly every person I meet.
