    Story
    (5735)

    At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, Ready Player One is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.

    What made the experience of listening to Ready Player One the most enjoyable?

    The story line is interesting and plausible with an engaging narrator.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The hope within the chaos, the humanity of the main character.


    What about Wil Wheaton’s performance did you like?

    Everything


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    This is a multi layered story with a lot going on. Better to take it slowly.

    A. J. Jacobs tackles his most challenging experiment yet: a yearlong mission to radically improve every element of his body and mind - from his brain to his fingertips to his abs. First, he had to tackle a complicated web of diet and exercise advice, most which is nonsensical, unproven, and contradictory. Second, he had to consult a team of medical advisers. And finally, he had to subject himself, over the course of two years, to a grueling regimen of exercises and a range of diets and nutritional plans.
