Review of 'Ready Player One (Ready Player One, #1)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A true geek's novel.
A games developer dies and wills his entire fortune to the player who can find three keys and clear the three matching gates. All of this within the virtual reality MMORPG The Oasis.
It is a classic quest story with a huge amount of 80's geek trivia in matters as diverse as movies, music, anime and of course video games.
The book is read by Wil Wheaton, adding another layer of geek cred.
