Ready Player one is one of the most interesting and fun SciFi novels I have read since Angels and Demons. This book is set in a fictional world where a larger version of the Matrix is an acceptable alternate reality for its citizens.
This book will keep you interested right from the beginning until the big bang ending, and you'll keep cheering for the underdog protagonasist to defeat the bad-guys in the fictional world and come out victorious as the greatest 'Game-player' in both the real and virtual worlds.
This is a great read for sci fi fans and people who enjoy treasure hunts, video games and 80's themes. Somehow the author has been able to successfully combine all those elements to make an awesome read. I wouldn't be surprised if this is made into a movie for the masses.
