A great book for videogame enthusaists and those who love 80's culture.

5 stars

A great story regarding a late teen engaging in a video game quest with real-world impact. Set in a dystopian future, the tale gives you a blend of a virtual world learing to positive and meaningful real-life changes.

The story is told with enthusiasm and gives you a great insight into a late teen learning there is more to life than a virtual world. It also teaches you persistance, may lead to mindblowing results.

Review of 'Ready Player One (Ready Player One, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Devo dire che è stata una buona lettura. Sicuramente tiene viva l'attenzione del lettore, procede spedito e senza sviluppi non utili ai fini della trama.

È forse questo, però, che manca. Ogni azione del protagonista, ogni oggetto che ha, ogni amico che trova funziona un po' come la pistola di Cechov: svolgerà la sua funzione entro il termine del romanzo.

A questa trama dagli sviluppi controllati si affianca uno stile piuttosto snello, veramente ben congeniato; i complimenti anche a chi ha tradotto.

Il motivo per cui mi fermo a tre stelle è che mi è mancato qualche fronzolo puramente descrittivo e qualche minuzia nella narrazione di alcune fasi del romanzo che avrei gradito descritte nel dettaglio.
