When this book came out, I really didn't have an interest reading it. When the movie came out, I still didn't have an interest. However, I kept noticing it on reading lists and students mentioned it to me. So I picked it up thinking I'll listen to a chapter or two and decide whether or not to continue. Boy, I was wrong! Right away, I knew I would finish the book. Wade lives in the distant future where everyone is hooked on a virtual reality called the OASIS. The owner, when he died, released a video that announced a contest to find the easter egg hidden in OASIS. Whoever found it would inherit his company and fortune. In order to get the egg, you had to find three keys: copper, jade, and crystal. They would open a gate. Millions of people are searching for the keys including rival company IOI led by Nolan Sorrento. When Wade is the first to find the Copper Key, five years after the announcement, the "Sixers" (IOI searchers) begin targeting him. He befriends the five other people who find the key after him. Will Wade find the egg before Sorrento and the Sixers do? Full of 1980 pop culture and computer/video game history, this was quite an adventure. I highly recommend this to fans of science fiction and video games.
