Kid reviews for Ready Player One

This is a must read for anyone who is interested in the 1980's the movies the music the video games everything is to the T and I liked it a very Orwellian vibe

Honestly, this was a lot of fun to read. The plot is centered around a massive puzzle-infused scavenger hunt that is compelling from the very start. Yes, it does have some language and a few sex/masturbation references, and a bit of violence that comes with all dystopian style worlds. But without this, (and this is true with all stories told through a teenager or young adult viewpoint) the characters wouldn’t feel very realistic. Teenagers talk about sex and they curse, deal with it. People don’t normally enjoy reading about cookie-cutter goody-two-shoes teenagers, those make the story sound like it was written by a five year old imagining what high school looks like. Another thing, the main protagonist is very clearly made out to be an atheist at the beginning of the story, and if you have a problem with that, then you may be a little peeved by the end of the first chapter. The book also does have a few great moments that encourage friendship and teamwork, as working together with others is what the characters have to do in order to complete a goal. There’s no real deeper messages or moral lesson to the book, but it’s a real fun book to read.

Some swearing and sex mentions, but most teens already know about what is mentioned. Overall a great story with positive messages and an interesting premise.

Ready Player One is a action novel by the author Ernest Cline about a competition to take over a video game universe by finding Easter eggs left by the deceased creator of the game, James Halliday. Parents and Kids beware, this book can be dark and scary for younger kids from the age 11 and under. Violence is present like detonating buildings, video game violence, car crashes, guns and futuristic weapons. A scene in the book is recreated form a scene of The Shinning, a horror novel by Stephen King. Characters use death threats, send messages through the video game, and has LOTS of cursing present, including multiple f-bombs, sh*thead, c*ck, b*tch, and damn. Wade Watts (Parzival) has a relationship with a online character and has been “cyber stalking” her. Wade has relationships with strangers all around the world, not knowing their names, genders, and if they are safe in the competition. This book is PACKED full of 80s nostalgia like Atari, Nintendo, E.T, Kong, The Goonies, The Shinning ( like I said before), Delorean and many more pop culture references. Overall, Ready Player One is a great sci-fi novel for older teens only.

In the book, Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline, the main character, Wade Watts, or Parsival, must face many challenges and overcome fears. Wade is a poor young boy that has one love, or two, in the end of the book, his main love is the OASIS, a virtual world in which people escape the world and can do whatever they want, and be whoever they want. This book is my favorite book because it has MANY references from the ’80s and LOTS of humor. In my opinion, the start of the book was a tad boring, however, once the main character, Wade, got to discover the answers, the book just kept me stuck to it. I would read this book until 1 o'clock because it is such a cliff hanging book. I would recommend this book for kids 12+ because this book does have a chapter all about sexual stuff. However, this book is also about being resourceful and relying on others for help.

This book is amazing but contains a LOT of swearing. There are also a LOT of talking about Sex. The best book, but not for the young ones

'Ready Player One' is an exciting and fun book full of pop culture references for nerdy teenagers, but there is a lot of sex, including a chapter about masturbation and talk of blow up dolls. There is a bit of violence, though. Wade's entire family is killed by the mass corporation IOI and a man is thrown out of a window and killed. The book contains positive messages about the dangers of technology. Overall, it is an amazing and well written book for mature teens who have a bit of nerd blood.
