Ernest Cline: Ready Player Two (Hardcover, 2020, Ballantine Books)

An unexpected quest. Two worlds at stake. Are you ready?

Days after Oasis founder James …

None

DNF after only about 50 pages in. What an annoyingly cheap cash grab after the surprising success of the first book. I did enjoy RPO, even though the pop culture references got annoying sometimes. But RPT is a cheap, lifeless copy of something that wasn't quite amazing to begin with. I read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia and have zero desire to dive back into the book. Instead it feels like I dodged a bullet. Not recommended.
