ReviewsPraise for Ready Player One: "Enchanting... Willy Wonka meets the Matrix . Its geeky characters are geeky cool. And its action is imaginative, always cinematic.[Cline] even weaves a sweet romance into this hero-vs.-villain tale."-- USA Today "The grown-up's 'Harry Potter'...the mystery and fantasy in this novel weaves itself in the most delightful way, and the details that make up Mr. Cline's world are simply astounding. Ready Player One has it all."-- Huffington Post "A rollicking, surprise-laden, potboiling, thrilling adventure story...the best science-fiction novel I've read in a decade."--BoingBoing.com "Ridiculously fun and large-hearted... Cline is that rare writer who can translate his own dorky enthusiasms into prose that's both hilarious and compassionate. You'll wish you could make it go on and on."--NPR.org "A smart, funny thriller that both celebrates and critiques online culture... layered with inside jokes and sly references."-- San Francisco Chronicle "An addictive read... part intergalactic scavenger hunt, part romance and all heart."--CNN.com "Incredibly entertaining...a geek fantasia, '80s culture memoir and commentary on the future of online behavior all at once."-- Austin American-Statesman
