Reviews
"The science-fiction writer John Scalzi has aptly referred to Ready Player One as a 'nerdgasm' [and] there can be no better one-word description of this ardent fantasy artifact about fantasy culture. . . . But Mr. Cline is able to incorporate his favorite toys and games into a perfectly accessible narrative." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "A fun, funny and fabulously entertaining first novel . . . This novel's large dose of 1980s trivia is a delight . . . [but] even readers who need Google to identify Commodore 64 or Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde, will enjoy this memorabilian feast." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "Incredibly entertaining . . . Drawing on everything from Back to the Future to Roald Dahl to Neal Stephenson's groundbreaking Snow Crash , Cline has made Ready Player One a geek fantasia, '80s culture memoir and commentary on the future of online behavior all at once." -- Austin American-Statesman " Ready Player One is the ultimate lottery ticket." -- New York Daily News "This non-gamer loved every page of Ready Player One ." --Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series "A treasure for anyone already nostalgic for the late twentieth century. . . But it's also a great read for anyone who likes a good book." -- Wired "Gorgeously geeky, superbly entertaining, this really is a spectacularly successful debut." -- Daily Mail (UK) "A gunshot of fun with a wicked sense of timing and a cast of characters that you're pumping your fist in the air with whenever they succeed. I haven't been this much on the edge of my seat for an ending in years." -- Chicago Reader "A 'frakking' good read [featuring] incredible creative detail . . . I grinned at the sheer audacity of Cline's imagination." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Fascinating and imaginative . . . It's non-stop action when gamers must navigate clever puzzles and outwit determined enemies in a virtual world in order to save a real one. Readers are in for a wild ride." --Terry Brooks, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Shannara series "I was blown away by this book. . . . A book of ideas, a potboiler, a game-within-a-novel, a serious science-fiction epic, a comic pop culture mash-up-call this novel what you will, but Ready Player One will defy every label you try to put on it. Here, finally, is this generation's Neuromancer." --Will Lavender, New York Times bestselling author of Dominance "I really, really loved Ready Player One . . . . Cline expertly mines a copious vein of 1980s pop culture, catapulting the reader on a light-speed adventure in an advanced but backward-looking future." --Daniel H. Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Robopocalypse "A nerdgasm . . . imagine Dungeons and Dragons and an 80s video arcade made hot, sweet love, and their child was raised in Azeroth." --John Scalzi, New York Times bestselling author of Old Man's War "Completely fricking awesome . . . This book pleased every geeky bone in my geeky body. I felt like it was written just for me." --Patrick Rothfuss, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Wise Man's Fear
Synopsis
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Now a major motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg. "Enchanting . . . Willy Wonka meets The Matrix ."-- USA Today * "As one adventure leads expertly to the next, time simply evaporates."-- Entertainment Weekly A world at stake. A quest for the ultimate prize. Are you ready? In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune--and control of the OASIS itself. Then Wade cracks the first clue. Suddenly he's beset by rivals who'll kill to take this prize. The race is on--and the only way to survive is to win. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Entertainment Weekly * San Francisco Chronicle * Village Voice * Chicago Sun-Times * iO9 * The AV Club "Delightful . . . the grown-up's Harry Potter." -- HuffPost "An addictive read . . . part intergalactic scavenger hunt, part romance, and all heart." --CNN "A most excellent ride . . . Cline stuffs his novel with a cornucopia of pop culture, as if to wink to the reader." -- Boston Globe "Ridiculously fun and large-hearted . . . Cline is that rare writer who can translate his own dorky enthusiasms into prose that's both hilarious and compassionate." --NPR "[A] fantastic page-turner . . . starts out like a simple bit of fun and winds up feeling like a rich and plausible picture of future friendships in a world not too distant from our own." -- iO9, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Now a major motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg.

- n***1 (45)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasePackaging was great! Shipping time was very prompt. The product was described accurately in the posting! Definitely a great value! The vendor is wonderful to deal with!
- n***e (1507)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis seller’s a rare breed—like a vintage typewriter ribbon in a world of autocorrect. Lightning-fast shipping that’d make a cheetah question its life choices, and packaging so solid I’d trust it to cradle my dreams. Communication was sharper than a tax auditor’s pencil, yet oddly soothing, like a whisper from a benevolent moth. A transaction smoother than a jazz sax solo in an elevator. I’d bid on their aura if eBay allowed it—top-notch, truly.Who's Who in the Major Leagues Baseball 1947 1948 1951 (#235925518291)
