Days after winning OASIS founder James Halliday's contest, Wade Watts makes a discovery that changes everything. Hidden within Halliday's vaults, waiting for his heir to find, lies a technological advancement that will once again change the world and make the OASIS a thousand times more wondrous, and addictive, than even Wade dreamed possible. With it comes a new riddle, and a new quest, a last Easter egg from Halliday, hinting at a mysterious prize. And an unexpected, impossibly powerful, and dangerous new rival awaits, one who'll kill millions to get what he wants. Wade's life and the future of the OASIS are again at stake, but this time the fate of humanity also hangs in the balance.… (més)

Rounding up in GoodReads, but would get 2.5 stars from me.

Meh, it was fine. Wade Watts was certainly less likeable in this novel. The characters didn't feel as engaging or as tight. The quest had some interesting bits, but felt too "pushed". The antagonist was more annoying than evil. There were times I wanted to put it down and stop reading ... and times that it was engaging and time flew by. But not a super memorable read overall. ( )

Without a doubt this is one of the absolute worst sequels I have ever read, and, for me personally, the most disappointing release of 2020. I actually very much enjoyed the first novel, and while it isn't without problems, the treasure hunt-style plot and fast pacing made RPO a delight. Although RPT tries to channel those same feelings, Cline fails miserably in making this book anything but a weak shadow of its predecessor. It is bogged down with long, obscure infodumps (you'd better LOVE John Hughes movies, Prince, and really ancient Tolkien facts if you plan on liking this book) that make it seem like Cline just ran out of fresh ideas and began dumping his knowledge about these topics on the page.

The main characters are also hugely disappointing. Wade is a selfish, creepy, sulky boy, and although it's nice to see him come to his senses about blindly worshipping Halliday, the fact that he abused his power so badly (digging up private info about Skylar and watching Sam's every move) is never properly addressed and he just gets away with it. If Cline was trying to offer a commentary on Wade's behavior he didn't do so well; it would have been gratifying to see Wade learn from his mistakes, but that doesn't happen. Sam is nothing but the Love Interest and a plot device, and little more can be said for Aech and Shoto. I got excited about seeing more of Kira and hearing more about a woman in tech and games, but Cline did her SO dirty. It said time and time again that Halliday only saw Kira as a trophy even though she wasn't...and the Cline goes and makes Kira an almost literal trophy. The ONLY interesting character is Skylar, who, once introduced, is only seen again in sad snippets.

Cline also brings up topics such as the degraded environment, the suffering ecosystems, and overpopulation, but then drops them again and doesn't offer any more on the topic. The ending is also nothing less than an easy way out that reeks of bad writing and no imagination. When I say it's disappointing I mean it feels like all of 2020 was rolled up into one climax, drenched in a bunch of sci-fi tropes, and handed off to the reader like a pile of poo.

I'm racking my brain but other than Skylar and her own gang (who is barely seen) there is next to nothing that I liked or that I think was well done in Ready Player Two. I don't even think I'll be able to peacefully read the first book again knowing what Cline does in the future of the story. RPT is a "no" for me, and I absolutely don't recommend it. ( )

This one took longer than [b:Ready Player One|9969571|Ready Player One (Ready Player One, #1)|Ernest Cline|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1500930947l/9969571._SY75_.jpg|14863741] to really get cooking. But once it did, I was in. Also, not as good overall as RP1. Not as much 80s and 90s trivia being dropped. But well worth the time. ( )

Three stars here is a balance between the fact that this has some fairly bad writing, and barely any humanity (which is weird because at some level, that's what it's supposed to be about), but other the other hand, has a fast-moving compelling plot, and yet on the third hand, has some unrealistic views of humanity as well as physics. Maybe the best way to describe this as as the novelization of a D&D campaign. ( )
  danielskatz | Dec 26, 2023 |
Woof, where to start. This is an enjoyable read, but SO disappointing. All if the wonder of RP1 is gone. Wade's not an underdog anymore, he's a bored rich guy bitching about how lonely he is. Like RP1, this is loaded with pop culture references, but they somehow seem forced. I dunno. RP1 was a wonderful standalone book that got the sequel it didn't need. ( )

J'avais enfin pris assez de distance par rapport à ma dépendance pour comprendre une chose : les êtres humains n'avaient jamais eu vocation à participer à un réseau social mondial regroupant des milliards de personnes. Nous avons été conçus par l'évolution pour être des chasseurs-cueilleurs, avec la capacité mentale d'interagir et de socialiser avec les autres membres de notre tribu – une tribu composée de quelques centaines d'autres personnes tout au plus. Interagir avec des milliers, voire des millions d'autres personnes au quotidien était bien trop compliqué pour nos esprits, nous qui descendions du singe. C'est pourquoi toute la population mondiale avait peu à peu sombré dans la folie depuis l'apparition des réseaux sociaux au tournant du siècle.
Je commençais même à me demander si l'invention d'un réseau social mondial n'était pas en réalité le « grand filtre » qui provoquait en théorie l'extinction de toutes les civilisations technologiques, plutôt que les armes nucléaires ou le changement climatique. Peut-être que, chaque fois qu'une espèce intelligente parvenait à un stade suffisamment avancé pour inventer un réseau informatique mondial, elle développait alors une forme de réseau social qui emplissait aussitôt ces êtres d'une haine si intense les uns envers les autres qu'ils finissaient par s'anéantir eux-mêmes en l'espace de quatre ou cinq décennies. Seul le temps nous le dira.
