I'm not a gamer and sci-fi is not my genre. "Ready Player One," is a sci-fi book about gamers in the future so by rights I shouldn't have liked the book but here I am ready to rave about it. Wade Watts is the protagonist of the book set in 2044 but since it is based on nostalgia much of it deals with games of the seventies and eighties. I read descriptions of games like "pacman" which even I had played on my Atari 800. While the descriptions are really interesting it is the story which keeps you turning pages. Wade and his friends Eitch, Artemis, and Shato are vying for the holy grail and they have to defeat the bad guys the sixers.WIll they do it? Will good triumph over evil once you start reading I guarantee you'll be hooked and can't put it down till you're at the end. A book which addresses fun, race, gender, and sexual orientation; and above all it's a romance too.
