Ready Player One

Iets te veel nogal Amerikaanse nostalgie naar de jaren 80, maar in het derde deel werd het hier en daar toch nog even een beetje verrassend. Ach, niet onaardig verder, als je de diepgang van een bord soep verder over het hoofd ziet.

I wasn't too sure how this one was going to go because I normally REALLY don't care for pop culture references in books because it dates them like crazy. I'm not sure how well this will hold up in the future since a lot of these references are already lost to the past and that will get worse as time goes on.

But I found this to be a fun ride! I felt like it had a good blend of tension and adventure and emotional connections. It kept my attention through the whole story and didn't lose me along the way. I felt like the characters were written well and had their flaws and issues, but it didn't completely tank the story.

I already have a physical copy of the book and this is one that I'll be holding onto.
