(96 reviews)
Einige Tage nachdem er das Easter Egg von James Halliday gefunden und den Wettbewerb um die OASIS für sich entschieden hat, macht Wade Watts eine Entdeckung, die alles verändern könnte. In einem seiner Tresorräume hat Halliday eine Technologie für ihn versteckt, die die OASIS noch wundervoller und suchterzeugender macht, als es sich Wade je hätte träumen lassen.
Doch gleichzeitig wird er vor ein Rätsel gestellt und muss ein weiteres Abenteuer bestehen. Es gilt ein letztes Easter Egg zu finden, das Halliday in der Oasis versteckt hat.
Und diesmal hat Wade einen Konkurrenten, der über Leichen geht. Er merkt bald, dass nicht nur sein eigenes Leben auf dem Spiel steht, sondern das von Millionen anderer Menschen, und vielleicht sogar das Schicksal der gesamten Welt.

More dead-on 80's nostalgia packaged in an entertaining story that pays homage by name to darker predecessors like Strange Days and Brainstorm.

So gut der erste Teil war so schlecht ist der zweite. Spannung fehlt, viel Blabla und die Handlung ist naja. Man hätte mehr aus der Grundidee des Buches machen können. Es wirkt sehr erzwungen.

El libro es bueno. Me encanto.

While I really liked Ready Player One, this book seems like it was more of a sequel for sequel's sake. it lost most of the great character development and new ideas of the first book, and just wasn't as enjoyable to read.
Note that I listened to the audiobook, rather than reading the book.

An utterly disappointing sequel.
Ready Player One was great because it fun and fresh and thrilling. Because of the story, not because of the writing. Even in spite of the writing. Because Ernest Cline is not a good writer.
RP2 takes the fresh/fun stuff from RP1, injects it with steroids, then hits copy & paste a million times. It's astounding (not really) that this book made it past his beta readers (including Stephen Spielberg) and editor.
The first 20% of the book is exposition. So is most of the remaining 80%.
Bad pacing? Check. Bad dialogue? Check. Wooden characters and an unsympathetic protagonist? Check. 13,000 adverbs in one book? Check.
Blech.

After listening to the first few pages I wanted to stop. Wade was such a dork making such obviously stupid but significant choices. However, the tension soon subsided during the long introduction of the scene (including a recap of the significant facts from the first book). In the end, the book was filled with many twists and turns and ended up merging the game world with the real world in some pretty ingenious ways - like how the real world controlled avatars sitting in rigs that controlled real-world robots.
Additionally, the book had multiple surprises that changed the perspective and opened up new ideas about saving memories and capturing the concept that ultimately our being/soul is just physics so why not be able to capture it and reconstitute it in an online world.

My only criticism was that the speed with which Samantha (Art3mis) forgave wade without any reconciliation seemed a bit silly, but in the end, it wasn't that significant a piece of the puzzle that it can be overlooked.

Книга Ready Player Two является продолжением книги Ready Player One (это умная отсылка к системам нумерации, в которых Two стоит следом за One и означает на единицу большее значение чем единица), и её действие разворачиваеся после завершения действия книги Ready Player One, а заканчивается даже после начала действия книги Ready Player Two.
Книга поднимает важнейшие вопросы: так ли необходим художественному произведению редактор (господи, да, да), почему у продолжения тайтла, не вылезавшего из чартов The New York Times Best Sellers, этого редактора нет (мы правда не понимаем), и когда это всё наконец закончится (только что).

It's telling that I was able to skip over the infuriatingly continuous large clumps of references without losing the thread of the story. Undisciplined and badly in need of editing, and yet there is something still compelling inside.

If you liked the first one, you'll like the sequel. It shares very similar strengths and flaws.
