READY PLAYER ONE (Ernest Cline) - April 28/18

Though it's definitely too long, I ultimately wound up really enjoying this book. The first quarter of the book is admittedly too descriptive and meandering but once the easter egg hunt kicks off, I found myself growing more and more enraptured by the brisk narrative. The characters were all well-defined and there were a number of interesting twists (eg Wade allows himself to be arrested by IOI). I'd love to see a sequel just to know how Wade and company spent all that money and what happened to IOI. *** out of ****
