Trae reviewed Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline (Ready Player One, #2)
Review of 'Ready Player Two' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Good read. I was concerned that it would just be a rehash and lip service to the previous book, but Cline was able to make a story that complimented the first book well. I would never tell an author that they cannot integrate commentary into their writings, but there were moments that Cline was rather preachy and pulled me out of the story. Some of this was really well integrated into the story, like the empathy the new tech provides, Ducky’s overlooked problems, and the overlooked women of early gaming development. But other times there were inserted comments that had no bearing to the story, was spoken about a few pages earlier, and really jars the reader away from the flow of the story. But easily overlooked as Cline does a great job.
