AN UNEXPECTED QUEST. TWO WORLDS AT STAKE. ARE YOU READY?

Days after winning OASIS founder James Halliday's contest, Wade Watts makes a discovery that changes everything.

Hidden within Halliday's vaults, waiting for his heir to find it, lies a technological advancement that will once again change the world and make the OASIS a thousand times more wondrous - and addictive - than even Wade dreamed possible.

With it comes a new riddle, and a new quest: a last Easter egg from Halliday, hinting at a mysterious prize.

And an unexpected, impossibly powerful, and dangerous new rival awaits, one who'll kill millions to get what he wants.

Wade's life and the future of the OASIS are again at stake, but this time the fate of humanity also hangs in the balance.

Lovingly nostalgic and wildly original as only Ernest Cline could conceive it, Ready Player Two takes us on another imaginative, fun, action-packed adventure through his beloved virtual universe, and jolts us thrillingly into the future once again.

Wade is a sook he complains about everything being to hard, him not being good enough, life, being rich, it is constantly throughout every chapter. This made it hard to get through i stopped listening 2hours away from the end because i just couldn't but then i knew i had to finish it just ao i could talk to people about it.

the first book was a 90/100
this book is a 50/100

Good but unnecessary to listen to if you didn't enjoy the first.

not what i was expecting but ok

the beginning really depressed me, it was immersive and I could see myself in our heroes shoes, but it felt really lonely and sad. which I think we the point.
but damn ..

almost had a journal feel, the character just telling us about what happened next etc.

the original feel of the book from ready player 1 did come back as familiar a few chapters in, but it would have been nicer if that familiarity had been earlier.

all that said, I really didn't like the choice of bad guy. there must have been a better protagonist.

I really didn't like the bad guy

Stories nowhere near as good as ready player One. Will Wheaten does a rubbish British accent xD made me laugh everyone Kira spoke.

eeeh

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to dive back into the world of the Oasis and highly recommend you do the same.

Well worth the sequel

Tedious and frustrating. He completely changes the character dynamic from the first book so much so that they don’t seem like themselves. This book needed a lot more polishing before ever being released.
As always Wil Wheaton does a superb job narrating however he doesn’t have much to work with.

Slogged through it.
