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.

I was really looking forward to this book but felt disappointed. some parts felt rushed, others dragged. I wasn't a fan of how characters changed.

not a patch on the first

I loved loved loved book one but this did not live up to my expectations in any way. Obvious story lines with a strange conclusion. Such a shame but it was a hard act to follow.

Not so good

I think this book answers all questions about *but what happened next*
Some parts had me smiling and laughing out loud while others were like wow.
Loved hearing Wil Wheaton again but nothing will beat the image in my head of him reading about himself in the first book ready player one by Ernest Cline.
I’m looking forward to reading other books by Ernest Cline and I like how he added another favourite of mine to his story (sword art online).
Thank you for bringing this story into my life and for having Wil Wheaton to narrate it not just once but twice. So all in all job well done 👍... now get to that screen and write me another brilliant story lol
All the best

Well done Ernest Cline and Wil Wheaton 🥳

If it hadn't have been for Wil Wheaton's excellent narration I would have given up on this book. I loved Ready Player One and eagerly awaited this follow up. Granted I have only listened to Ready Player Two once, maybe it will grow on me. however it took me so long to get into, it did not grip me from the start like RP1. The writing style was different, very slow to start, the middle almost had the energy of RP1 and the end was ok but felt a bit rushed. I will not be sending it back as I am sure if I listen to it over and over again it will grow on me, and now I will listen to RP1 and RP2 as one book.

I wondered if it was written like this so the film could have a sequel that followed the book (as we RP1 fans know the book was not followed in the film).

I could have written more but did not want to give the plot away to anyone. Needless to say if you loved RP1 it's a must, if you have not read Ready Player One, read or listen to that first then take on Ready player Two.

Wil Wheaton is probably the best narrator out there and brings the book alive with his energy and character voices as he does with all books he reads.

I do recommend you try this book, I am a firm believer in ignoring critics and judging for yourself (I usually love what critics hate and visa versa).

Wil Wheaton was excellent..

Not a patch on the first book but I guess you need to listen to it if you enjoyed Ready Player One 🙄

About as good as Wheaton's English accent?
