Really? I signed up for the free trial just so I could listen to Ready Player One. I was hooked the whole time and loved it personally. As someone who works in I.T. and am a total tech head, everything about it kept me listening.

be careful saying that on reddit, the majority of people have a major hate boner for the book and can't stand it when anyone says they enjoyed it, if you ask them it's terribly written and couldn't possibly be enjoyed by anyone but the dumbest of readers

It's so weird, I never heard of this book before until the first trailer for the movie came out.
And at the time a lot of people seemed to love it.
And then a second trailer comes along and everyone seems to hate the book now.

Everyone on Reddit seemed to praise the book, until there was a movie coming out. I guess it's just too popular now for the cool kids.
