Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Ready Player Two

“Many people think Ernest Cline writes about the future, but what he’s really doing is writing about the complexities of the world we live in today. Whether you’re black, white, woman, or man, this story is about you and what gaming has meant in your life. We already live in the OASIS, and the journey of life is trying to find as many of those Easter eggs along the way!”—Trevor Noah

So Wade is woke and now a jerk,why oh why?

Spoilers,
Let me just add this up im trying to digest it and it's not going down well, why you ask ok here is a few reasons

A. Wade is now a total jerk and the whole world hates him other than some diehards..poor Wade he didn't write it
B. If your a young male and don't enjoy looking at nude men then your struggling with your sexual identity...huh
C. Every chapter be certain your up to date with reverse gender roles...are you woke yet? Well are you?? better be
D. Wade in VR (Oni) has slept with everything/ and every gender and then some while swapping partners, so not gross right?
E. The big questions asked in the book never get explored, example what happens when the world retreats to VR instead of living in the real world..not VR like book 1 but rather now we have Oni which is VR but with touch,taste,smell the whole thing. This most important question is asked but that's about it..BTW if you want to read about this sort of issue listen to Jeremy Robinson novel or Douglas Richards...very disappointed this topic was not fleshed out a little, heck in the beginning this is why there is major friction between Wade and Samantha but the book goes elsewhere mostly

I'm not a prun in fact some of this stuff needs to be explored considering we are now talking about VR but now with all the human senses, however its not done well and its done in poor taste and you are constantly reminded of that throughout the book. It seems like many authors don't understand gender roles is a topic itself and every other book now has the same topic it is tiresome, why copy the previous author(s)?

After all that im still a fan and believe Ready Player Two is worth a listen it is not great but hey neither is a lot of other books, its one I won't be re-reaading though.

Press play to start

After the immense success of Ready Player One, including the blockbuster adaptation from renowned director Steven Spielberg, author Ernest Cline brings us the sequel, the next episode, the evolution in what has quickly become a highly recommended read or listen for everyone who was a kid in the ’80s.

Picking up right where Ready Player One ended, Ready Player Two takes us into another adventure filled with mysteries, discoveries, secrets and a lot of pop fiction lore.

As one who loves video games and Star Trek, it was a delightful pleasure to see Wil Wheaton return as the narrator of choice for this second novel in the extremely entertaining and best-selling series. He gives life to new and old fan favorite characters and delivers another fantastic performance, creating a completely immersive narrative experience for everyone involved.

The future is here and I can’t stop thinking that if we had access to all this advanced virtual reality tech during our damned pandemic, life would have been easier… Well written, fast-paced, unputdownable, amusing and deeply entertaining, Ready Player Two is the sequel we’ve all been waiting for.

8 YEARS FINALLY!

I have been waiting for 8 years to hear Wil Wheaton's sweet voice to read for me the sweet genius or Ernest Cline. Its everything I Imagined and more... I love this series! Movie... not so much...

This book is a mess

from pacing issues, to character development, to just downright bad writing, this book was a huge let down. The first book was not exactly a masterpiece, but I truly enjoyed it conceptually, and the story was engaging and well put together. This story on the other hand is less grounded, with lower stakes, shallower characters, and truly horrific pacing. Cline did a good job creating this world, but has failed to put together a follow-up worthy of it.

should have left it at rp1

Will did great on the narration. The concept of the story almost worked. I think having a deadline for the characters made it annoying and totally unreal. there was a lot of banter and blagh blagh which would have been entirely unreal with a real deadline like that.

I Did not hate this book. I heard the whole thing straight though over a two day period.

the challenges were way too easy and it lacked all the geeky gamer stuff that reminded me of the 80s gamer geek that I grew up with.

I could have ignored all of the above but somehow it seems the author was forced to put a bunch of sexuality talk and other left wing political agenda stuff and it distracted me from the story.

now don't get me wrong. All that narrative already exists in the mainstream media.

when I read sci-fi / fantasy it's the last thing I want to have distracting me from my escape from reality.

unless you want to say the world is screwed and all sense of morality and common sense is gone so the only solution is to build a spaceship become an digital ai version of yourself and fly off into space to create a new digital version of the world...

however.... your digitized ai personality will take all your crazy with you so that's not gonna solve anything either.

I respect Ernest Kline and have loved both of his other books. this one seems to be influenced by someone else.

the same thing happened with rythmn of war by B.Sanderson

anyways if you are a left wing supporter and a proponent of lgbt and a fan of RP1 then it won't be annoying to you and I would expect you will love it IMHO.
