Dai Samuel (29 KP) rated Ready Player One (2018) in Movies
Jun 19, 2018
As I’ve said before, I’m obsessed with Ready Player One. That said the movie isn’t the greatest piece. It also fails to muster the same nostalgic feeling I got when reading the book (no debate on book over movie please, I’ve had that conversation) so I am less vested in the on screen characters. That said, the characterisation of some key characters is good enough to keep me coming back for more, shame some of the key scenes never got shot. FYI Wil Wheaton reads the audiobook and that’s always a good deal.

I read this book for a book club on good reads a couple months ago. I enjoyed it, even though it was fairly Predictable, and kind of repetitive. The main character was a little two dimensional. This book is set in Scotland, which I thought was cool. The descriptions the author gave were very well written.

I use Facebook to keep up with friends and groups that I belong too. You can get addicted and look every few hours to see what people have posted and people run their life by it and get upset if they cannot get on. It is very useful for information but I don't like that it also reads your computer so if you are looking up something on google for example it then appears on your Facebook page as an advert. Big Brother is watching you all the time.

I loved the Vampire Academy series and held off reading this for ages thinking it might not have grabbed me as much as the other series but you know what? I got really into it! I always find Richelle's story quick and easy reads and this was no exception. If I could have, I'd have read this in one sitting but two long working days back to back ruined that idea and it's taken me four/five days instead.
I can't wait to read the rest of these books!!

It's official: I am now a Stephanie Perkins fan. How could I not be after two reads that I've given five stars to?
I love reading her characters and the romance they share.
I loved Cricket in this; he was equally gorgeously cute and geeky. Some of the things he came out with *sigh* Too cute!
Also the appearance of Anna and St. Clair/Etienne was really cool! I can't help wondering if Anna, St. Clair, Lola and Cricket will make a surprise appearance in the third book in this series :)

DNF @ 28%.
I'm not having much luck with contemporary reads lately, the last two being DNF's because they aren't interesting me at all. I struggled with this from the start and after hat bit where Michael was mentioned on the way to the airport, I just knew he knew something about it...so despite the book boring me I skipped ahead to see if I was right...and I was. It still didn't make me want to finish the book though.
Not in the mood for contemporaries right now, it would seem.
