Book: Ready Player One
Author: Ernest Cline
Releasedate: August 16, 2011
How come I've never heard of this book before? It is ah-ma-zing! My interest was piqued when I read some very enthusiastic responses in one of the Facebook groups I'm in. And I am ever so grateful for that bunch of geeky girls to point me towards this amazing book. Have I told you that it is amazing? I have literally squeeled with joy to read so many references of geekery and gaming in one book. I was overjoyed and so sad when it ended. I just LOVED reading it!
I'm a huge geek and gamer myself, so naturally I submerged myself quite quickly in the wonderful world of the OASIS. So many recognisable perks and quirks for a geeky gamer like me. I'm just old enough to understand most of the 80's references the book is packed with, due to parents who brought their youth into raising me.

If you love geeky stuff, if you love gaming and if you have a certain affinity with the 80's, I'd say this is definitely worth a read. It is filled to the brim with references. I have laughed so hard at certain situations. Some things were so recognisable. I even knew certain passages out of the top of my head! The story really speaks to you, even if it takes place in the future. Ah, if the OASIS was already here. I'm still stuck with my 2D monitor and crude mouse and keyboard. Lol.
And can you imagine my excitement when I discovered there is going to be a movie? I usually am quite skeptical with book to movie adaptations, but this just has the basics to be something awesome. At the end of March we can submerge ourselves into the story of geeks and gamers on the big screen. But for now, I am having this huge smile on my face for reading something that awesome!
