      I loved the book and the movie. It’s one of the few times I was glad the movie changed a lot from the book. It wouldn’t have translated well and they were aware of that. They both stand well on their own. I’m looking forward to part 2.

      Same. It’s clearly by an inexperienced author but the story and moment-to-moment storytelling was neat.

      Even the movie was great IMO, clever way of modernizing the components of the novel for the audience the movie was intended for.

      The book wasn’t horrible. It was cliche, although that was sortof the point. I think there’s a reason people had issues with representation or something in it too, but I don’t remember. It’s been a while. The movie was aweful.

        The movie was aweful [sic]

        Yeah, that was the movie trying to sell that Olivia Cooke was not attractive because she has a small birthmark in one eye.

        Idiots.

      Ready Player One is, without a doubt my favourite book of all time.

      Ready Player Two, however…
