About this Book- A world at stake. A quest for the ultimate prize. Are you ready?
- In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days.
- When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.
- Then Wade cracks the first clue. Suddenly he's beset by rivals who'll kill to take this prize. The race is on—and the only way to survive is to win.

Really? I bought the second one a few months ago and I was looking forward to listening to it.
How does it get 4.3 star average rating if it's that bad?
That said, if you're a reader and are considering - just buy it. It's reeeeeeeeally good. I'm not sure I buy the background plot about why the world in the book is the way it is (especially regarding energy), but I can look the other way considering how incredible the rest of the writing is. Don't worry, this isn't a spoiler.
I think it's also the stark comparison to the combination of excellent writing of the author (rather than the screenwriter that edited it) and Will Wheaton's on-point voice acting. Simple excellent. The movie might just be 'meh'? But standing next to the audiobook and the original book itself - it's polished garbage to me, not made by someone who loves the book and wanted to do it justice. Just a money grab based on marketing.
