In a dystopian world ravaged by war, famine, and poverty, the only relief anyone can get from their wreck of a reality is a virtual world called the OASIS. The OASIS was created many years ago by a genius inventor named James Halliday, in an attempt to revamp virtual reality and video games, and to provide salvation to the slowly crumbling society of humans. When he dies at the height of his success, he promises a huge inheritance to whoever first finds an Easter egg he has hidden within the OASIS. In the current year of 2045, 5 years after he released the challenge at his moment of death, nearly the entire world has given up finding the Easter egg, until the main character of the book, Wade Watts, a neglected 18 year old boy who has spent his whole life living in the OASIS, solves the first clue. This book is great because it is filled with mystery, action, and suspense. With many surprising twists to the plot, this book is perfect for people who are looking for a good read with lots of excitement and historical references to video games made in the past. But this book also has lots of terms that people might not recognize, like video game names, references, or movie titles. I recommend this book for people ages 14+. This book contains inappropriate language and violence.
