Jim Fulner reviewed Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

5 stars

WOW! not only is that the initials of our protagonist, but about everything I can say about this audio book. Pop culture, futuristic, distopian, romance, like everything anyone could ever want from a book. The emotional responses generated by this audiobook was out of this world. Wil Weaton is less annoying than usual. The man who invited the oaysis, an online video game that is so dominate in the market that it has become synonymous with the intent, passes away without any heirs. His video will indicates he has left everything, including control of the oaysis itself to whomever is the first player to find an Easter egg he has hid in the oaysis. That's only the beginning.
