About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
An unexpected quest. Two worlds at stake. Are you ready?
Days after winning OASIS Founder James Halliday's contest, Wade Watts makes a discovery that changes everything.
Hidden within Halliday's vaults, waiting for his heir to find, lies a technological advancement that will once again change the world and make the OASIS a thousand times more wondrous - and addictive - than even Wade dreamed possible.
With it comes a new riddle and a new quest - a last Easter egg from Halliday, hinting at a mysterious prize.
And an unexpected, impossibly powerful and dangerous new rival awaits, one who'll kill millions to get what he wants.
Wade's life and the future of the OASIS are again at stake, but this time the fate of humanity also hangs in the balance.
Lovingly nostalgic and wildly original as only Ernest Cline could conceive it, Ready Player Two takes us on another imaginative, fun, action-packed adventure through his beloved virtual universe and jolts us thrillingly into the future once again.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,505
Compiled by intrepid journalist Neve Pride, this archive of recordings spans the months after dragons emerged on earth, chronicling the communities that sprang up amid the destruction, the scientists, military leaders, and experts searching for a defense, and those steadfastly seeking the missing. Neve and her young daughter Bex travel among the wreckage speaking to those left behind and surviving, against all odds. Neve records everything for history, and in the hopes of locating a clue as to where the dragons came from and how one might stop them.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

In this day and age of including everyone
I was really excited when i heard there was going to be a ready player 2. So I preordered it and listened to it immediately when it was delivered. I have to say I enjoyed most of the book. Some parts though seemed really forced. The thing that threw me off a lot was the feeling that the story was trying to please everyone or include everyone to the point that it was jarring. It was missing the many iconic geek culture and pop culture throwbacks like the first book, which i loved and listened to many many times. I am a child of the 80s so i loved the many references in ready player two. But I guess the bar was set really high in the first book. Once again Will Wheaton did an excellent job. Please give this book a read if you liked the first one, as it ties up many loose ends. Overall I recommend getting this book if you need a ready player one fix.

Nowhere near as good as the first book
This story seems to be written to push pc culture and it made it incredibly hard to read.
The characters seem to be reduced to nothing but a pc identity, which is incredibly sad becuase it ruined characters like H for me who felt like decently build characters.
H went from an interesting character, to literally just being black, female and gay. That's all that she was reduced to and it feels like everytime she speaks that is all you hear about.
There seems to be a trend where every female character never makes a mistake or has to apologise while also putting down every male character in the book.
It even goes as far as to portray artemis as a godlike being that can literally do it all. And you better not question any of her incredibly stupid decisions or else you would have to apologize for them later.
There are many other issues that just seem to boil down to Politically Correct nonsense being shoved down my throat.
Like even wade is just a bumbling idiot for the entire book and doesn't really achieve anything meaningful. There was so many interesting opportunities during this book to evolve his character but there is basically no development throughout the book.
*spoiler*
The ending felt really wierd, like why would they be sending the ai to look for another planet? What's the point, they are ai, they can't leave the ship. Unless there is something I missed, I don't see a point at all.

Wow!
this was the perfect sequal to one of my favourite books ever! I didn't know where the author could go after the contest to end all contests, but here we have it. a quest like no other with a countdown clock of epic consequences. the twists were mostly unexpected & the conclusion worth reading to the final full stop.
a walk down memory lane through the 80s whilst grappling with current ethical concerns, this book will stand the test of time and be loved by many generations to come.
Wheaton was a pleasure to listen to and played the parts of the characters with consistency.
I will be "reading" this book again!

Boring start and still not a fan of Will Wheaton
Start was really slow and self deprecating and depressing, just hold out until chapter 8.

All characters development undone in last chapter
MC acts like a petulant child. The twist at the end of act one is a learning experience for MC and the main plot setup.
Another reveal in the last chapter effectively says MC was actually right from the start.
Somehow everyone just loves MC at the end just because it worked out and ignores his behaviour throughout.
If you you are incapable of understanding relationships and only take in plot then it is probably a great book/ending.
MC actions/decisions make litteraly zero sense most of the time.
Genuinely unsure if it is poorly written, or the MC is supposed to be on the autism spectrum and the book is actually deeper look into that topic and I just didn't realise the intent.

Great listen. A good sequel.
The plot is laid on pretty thick early on, so it becomes quite easy to piece together exactly what is going to happen.
The charm of the first book is somewhat missing from this one. It still has a charm or its own. The writing seems fairly stripped back and rather straight forward, but it is still a very entertaining listen/ read.
if you are a fan of the first novel you should still love this one also.

Ernest Cline has delivered a good sequel
Ernest Cline has delivered a good sequel, which to be honest is probably best read as an audio book. Will Wheaton brought the story to life beautifully in a way few narrators can do.

Okay start, questionable villain, mediocre middle and brilliant ending!
The beginning was a bit depressing and stretched out, leaving the main quests squeezed. The villain was a bit questionable. The quests were pretty cool, just like listening to some video game quests that were very vivid. Will Wheaton is my hero with the voice of an angel. The ending was fantastic.
