Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've read "Ready Player One" multiple times and can't stop. "Armada" was a let down, but completely readable and mostly fun. The long awaited "Ready Player Two" is garbage. I gave up about 15% of the way through. The author can't go more than a dozen pages without virtue signaling about some present day cause. You can almost parrot what woke garbage is coming next just from context. This is not something he did in his previous novels. Even if that were not the case, like the first book, RP2 is another Easter egg hunt in the Oasis, but with none of the stakes. Wade is comfortable following the events of the first novel and there is little motivation for him as a character. There's even less motivation for him to go on the egg hunt since there is no specific prize for the one who finds it. Instead of being hungry and determined, he's bored and throws money at the challenge. "Ready Player Two" is dull and painful. Save your time and money. To continue reading would have permanently tainted my memory of the first novel.
