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, 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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Get ready to dive back into the ’80s-obsessed world of one of the most awesomely fun science-fiction adventures in recent memory! Ernest Cline’s exciting sequel picks up where the phenomenally popular Ready Player One left off, with misfit teen Wade and his friends gaining control of the vast virtual-reality empire known as OASIS. But before they can celebrate, they discover that the world’s recently deceased creator hid a massive Easter egg for them—a revolutionary technology that could change OASIS, and maybe even reality itself, forever. We were so happy to plug back into Cline’s neon-colored, pop-culture-saturated world. Like some of the best sequels, Ready Player Two is a next-level listen that raises the stakes for our beloved heroes. And who better to boldly usher us into the next generation of OASIS than Wil Wheaton? The Star Trek: TNG actor once again narrates Cline’s adventure story, guiding us through the roller-coaster ride with his warm and expressive voice. He makes Cline’s world feel so real, you might find yourself reaching for a digital sword of your own when things get tense.
Customer Reviews
Ready player 2
Almost as good as the first one!
Love It Completely
This book may not be as action packed as the first, but it is still a good read. It shows some amazing development in many of the characters and it shows a more realistic take on what winning a ton of money might look like. It’s not all rainbows and sunshine life doesn’t always get better with money. Definitely should read it at least once, but that’s for you to decide.
It was Terrible....
I liked the first book and really wished this would of been better. There are so many bad things I could say about this book but some of them would be considered spoilers but what I can say is Character development is very bad to the point I started you dislike the characters, The characters go from awesome adventures we grown to love to sad mentally unstable people who really need professional help. It takes forever for the real story to start, then it was a mountain of diarrhea till the end. Every action, item, person, and thing has an extra in-depth description to the point I feel like just shut up and just tell the story. It got so bad that I started skipping pages just to get through some parts.
