Ready Player One : Level One

After being nagged to death by five people about how I should RIGHT AWAY start reading this book, I finally broke down and dove right in.

I was in the middle of another book, you see and I wanted to finish it first but I am a wuss so here we are.

To be honest, I wasn't really sure I was going to like this book. I wasn't a gamer at all. I only ever won on Tekken and half the time I had no idea what the heck I was doing. From the title alone I was pretty sure I was going to get overwhelmed by unfamiliar gaming references.

Buuuuut.....

Let me tell you this, gamer or not, the moment you start reading, you are going to be hooked. You are going to read nonstop and you are going to love every single word.

The Huffington Post calls it "The grown-up's Harry Potter" and by golly it is. And I'm only a few chapters in!

Already I am finding myself itching to find Halliday's Easter Egg within OASIS. I am torn between wanting to get my mitts on every game thus far mentioned to find these hidden nuggets of coding gold and needing to finish the book.

Oh and the amazing 80s references! Suffice it to say, my playlist is now slowly filling up with songs from the book.

Ready Player One is proving to be an amazing read. I am glad I wussed out and started reading it!

Well? Are you going to go get started on it now or do I have to nag you to death too?
