#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The thrilling sequel to the beloved worldwide bestseller Ready Player One, the near-future adventure that inspired the blockbuster Steven Spielberg film.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST • “The game is on again. . . . A great mix of exciting fantasy and threatening fact.”—The Wall Street Journal

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.

Der zweite Teil bleibt weit hinter dem ersten. Insbesondere die exzessiven verweise auf Popkultur der 80ger hat mich gelangweilt und das obwohl ich doch fast der Zielgruppe entspreche. Es war anstrengend zu lesen und der Spaß blieb mit jeder Scherbe weiter auf der Strecke.

3.5

Short on the emotional state of volume one.

When I read Ready Player One, I've struggled with longing for the OASIS for MONTHS. I've wanted to experience the technology of that age and day, wanted to travel through one world in which all the other games existet, all with one single avatar. My mind was completely compelled and I yearned for a quest like the Easter Egg's. So of course I bought Ready Player Two, expecting the same emotional state as in volume one. Sadly, the second book didn't deliver. At all. During the first quarter of the book I've felt lost and a bit annoyed about Wade's weird change in character. ## SPOILERS FROM THIS POSITION ONWARD ## Wade is a freaking geek gunter, sniffing up each detail he can find about his idol and the OASIS. That he simply stopped doing that after becoming a billionaire seems highly unlikely to me, so the first quarter of the book was just unrealistic to me. I can somewhat understand that Samantha split up with him over the ONI, however. The whole of the book seemed somehow detached from emotional depth, except when Ogden dies. It's the only time I actually shed a tear. All other events just slipped by, being nothing more than a "meh". And I think that's pretty sad. All in all it was an okayish read. Just not what I expected, and therefore didn't fulfill my expectations.

Würdiger Nachfolger für Ready Player One. Hätte ich nicht gedacht.

Was für ein Schwachsinn! "Ready Player One" habe ich geliebt, auch den Film fand ich gut gemacht. Aber die Fortsetzung ist die reinste Katastrophe. Sinnlose Aneinanderreihungen von Retro-Film-, Fernseh-, Buchtitel, Sängern und Bands. Langweilig zu lesen. Wirklich schade. Ich habe mir mehr erwartet.

Wow. Even worse than I expected.

Leider war die Fortsetzung von #ReadyPlayerOne für mich eine Enttäuschung. Den ersten Teil habe ich als #Buch und #Film sehr gemocht. Es ist halt wie so oft, der 2te Band war so nie vorgesehen und wäre für mich auch absolut nicht notwendig gewesen. Er hat bestimmt seine Fans aber ich behalte lieber Band 1 in meinem Herzen und beende damit auch die Reihe.

the first part dragged and overall I wasn’t sure whether I would enjoy it at all, but the second part made the novel way more enjoyable and even though the ending was a little mushy I enjoyed it, even though RP2 will never be as good as RP1

Stopped reading after a while. This is not worth my time

I forced myself through it but wanted to dnf it up until the ending, it felt like nothing was happening and then a bunch of things happened all at once. The characters felt flat, there was no real development and the ending felt too forced and too metaphorically perfect. I was happy with Ready Player One being a great standalone novel. Maybe I'll pretend it still is. I thought I couldn't be more disappointed by a book after reading A Court of Frost and Starlight at the beginning of the year. I guess I was wrong. But isn't it ironic that the first and last review of my year were severe disappointments?

Nowhere as near compelling as the first. The conflict was great, but the individual quests to find the shards were too random and uninteresting.
