I don’t usually review bad books. I typically just return them and move on but I was hoping the good reviews would lead to an improvement in the story or an unforeseen improvement to the storyline that I didn’t expect. We all loved Ready Player One. This is a knockoff of that and that’s what I wanted while I’m waiting for Ready Player Two to come out next week. But this book does not come close nor does the narrator. The narrator is completely disconnected from the “story” and the story itself is only a small part of this book; the rest is filler content of an ungodly amount of stats that are meaningless to describe in such detail. This book reads like the back of a baseball card and the narrator reads like Eeyore from Winnie-the-Pooh. I’m not trying to be mean or harsh here but in our search for more and more content series stories like these are diluting the market and wasting our time and money. If stories like this are acceptable then we’re all stuck in the Matrix, in a devolving and cheapening version of capitalism in search of a dollar rather than a good story. If you value your time, move along to another story.
