Review: Ready Player Two

Ready Player Two Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline is the sequel to Ready Player One.  You will definitely want to read these in order.  There are many references to the first book in this one.  

You don't have to be a gamer to like these stories.  It is more important that you be at least somewhat interested in the 80s.  There are so many references!  This is a sci-fi action thriller much like the first book.  My favorite thing about this is how we visit virtual worlds based on a very specific theme, like John Hughes or Prince.  I was really invested in the John Hughes world and would really like if someone could get on creating that ASAP.  

This is a cautionary tale about getting to know your heroes.  If they are human, they are probably flawed in some way.  But it also gets into some deep ethical and moral decisions that make you think.  The ending walks a fine line.  Overall, just a lot of fun for me.
