Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

A few days ago my son told me he wanted to see Ready Player One over April vacation.  I have a personal rule to always read the book before seeing the movie.  I took this out for my son to read.  Not only did he read it in one day, he said I would really like and to read it as well. While it's not going on any of my all-time favorites lists, I did enjoy it and am looking forward to the movie.

A rich gamer legend dies and leaves his fortune to the player who can crack his clues and Easter eggs (side note: listen up kids, gaming Easter eggs have been around a lot longer than you think; us old folks played games with them too....MANY years ago).  First one to solve the final puzzle wins.  Every gamer wants to win, but most importantly beat a power-hungry conglomerate.

Imagine trying to find Willy Wonka's golden tickets inside a virtual Escape the Room inside an even bigger virtual Escape the Room.

Definitely a quick, enjoyable read.
