I've read a few reviews and not one was good. I've yet to read anything that makes me want to read it. -- nm - Krusty Dec 1, 20:58
The reviewer's disdain for Ready Player One is very apparent. You should base your reaction on how you yourself viewed the first book. -- nm - crash davis Dec 1, 20:42 8
- I haven't read the book or seen the movie. The trailer was enough to cause an immediate aversion to both. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 1, 21:01 5
  - RPO was a very fun read. I read the book twice in the first year and I never do that. The movie was okay. -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 1, 21:03 4
    - Agreed. NmbKrusty. SM picked up some Run the Jewels lingo. He said while we were playing backgammon “ Nobody cheat, nobody get choked” - Pippy - Dec 1, 21:08 3
      - Ha! Love it! -- nm - Krusty Dec 1, 21:09 2
        
        For the record, I was not cheating!!! - Pippy - Dec 1, 21:22 1
        
        Sure... I believe you. - Krusty Dec 1, 21:41
- I enjoyed Ready Player One. Armada, his 2nd novel, was crap. -- nm - 🦃 TWuG 🚀 Dec 1, 21:01
- lol. Forgot I had blocked Ready Player One. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Dec 1, 20:43
Odd. Just watched Cline on TDS and thought I might like it. Never watched the first one, of course. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Dec 1, 20:40
