Book: Ready Player One

Author: Ernest Cline

Reviewer: Jason Raitz, Business and Technology Applications Technician, NCSU Libraries

This book is for the gamers and children of the 70′s-80′s.  It’s a book that is equal parts Zork, John Hughes, Atari, Willy Wonka, treasure hunting, virtual reality, and of course coming of age.  If you like text adventures, virtual worlds and the movie Sixteen Candles, then you’re really going to enjoy this book.  There was a real life easter egg hunt this summer sponsored by the author to win a Delorian, but unfortunately, someone’s already claimed it.
