Though this book is not in the same story as Ready Player One it shares the author's love of pop culture sci-fi, television, game, and music references from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s. It was a fun romp and was well narrated by Wil Weaton. I now find that I want to dig out old video games, music, and movies having completed this book. Well done and looking forward to what this author writes next.

The forward is by Newt Gingrich if you want a preview of the political slant of this book. It comes off as anti-government. I would suggest Tomorrow War instead.

5/25 is International Towel Day and what better way to celebrate than to listen to the author himself read favorite excerpts.

Would you listen to Ready Player One again? Why?

This was an amazing audio book narrated by Wil Wheaton. The 80s geek culture references come early and often throughout the book making it one of the few that I couldn't stop listening to.

What other book might you compare Ready Player One to and why?

Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Snow Crash, Jennifer Goverent

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Adventures in cyberspace.

Decent story ... annoying dialog.

Would you listen to Redshirts again? Why?

No. The voice acting on this book was non-existent. I like Wil Wheaton but he doesn't use any voices. Compounding this problem is that whoever wrote Wil's script kept in all of the "he said", "she said", "they said" after every line of dialog which gets to be as distracting as someone who has a vocal tic.

What other book might you compare Redshirts to and why?

I would compare this story to something like the movies "Galaxy Quest" and "Stranger Than Fiction".

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I found that the book had some interesting metaphysical questions that were addressed in writing a sci-fi series or story. However, I found the reading of the book annoyed me.

Any additional comments?

I think that the book is a good idea but it would have been performed better.
