Synopsis: In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines—puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them.
But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape. [Via Amazon]
Book Notes:
I realised I am terribly inconsistent. It is a fact of life that I have not come to terms with despite my continuously maturing age. With age comes wisdom right? But I find myself stuck in a pickle of a repetitive nature simply because I lack the discipline to break away from bad habits. One of which would definitely have to be consistency.
But would what consistency have to do with my book notes? Well almost and absolutely nothing, but it was just a thought I needed to pen down (despite the lack of a pen) upon my once again stumbling across my blog.
To explain my experience with this book would simple be put- reading a video game. And I say that with much love and excitement. I love video games! I grew up playing them and still do! It's exciting, challenging and simply put- FUN! This book was able to merge everything I love about video games and pop culture references into a phenomenal read.
