One of my favorite books! But I have to add a Kleenex warning......you will shed a tear or two!

Read my full review here: Valet Reader's "Ready Player One" Review Wade Watts enters the OASIS to escape reality; I open up a book to do the same. The OASIS, a virtual world a la “Second Life” only far more advanced and unlike anything out there today, is a world where anyone can be whoever he/she chooses. By putting on some sort of crazy gloves and a ridiculously advanced virtual reality visor a user enters himself into a world of wizards, aliens and whatever else a 12 year old can imagine. But in the future that Watts lives in, the OASIS is more reality than the world outside. Having an escape mechanism isn’t the only similarity that I share with Watts, you see he’s also got “a serious cute-geeky-girls-playing-ukuleles fetish…” while I wouldn’t call what I’ve got a fetish by any means I certainly can appreciate this (it’s hard not to fall in love with Sophie Madeline). Wade is a loner, an outsider looking in, an unfortunate feeling that I share with him at this moment. He too found love, saw it escape from his grasp only to have it be rekindled (I dream…). We differ a lot too though, I don’t play video games, I have a great, loving relationship with my family and I actually do have some friends in real life.
