Big let down. What an utter disappointment. How could he go from Joust, giant Japanese robots and War Games to a love letter to Prince? In its current state, this will never be made into a movie and should never had been published. I had such high hopes for this follow up but alas…. It was not meant to be. So sad.

Pretty alright, but a obvious money grab. First of all this book is a money grab, the plot makes no sense of actually existing. It’s so obvious it’s a money grab that there’s no reason to say it’s a good book, but it’s pretty fun…sometimes. The missions for the keys are pretty straight forward from the last book and less interesting. I mean the beginning of the book is so different from the first one. The characters are um…boring. The situations put on them are so dumb and it just makes the book more boring as it goes on. Like Holiday is has a robot and he is evil and on and on and on and it’s just so stupid as it comes to an end. Ernest Cline really tries to make the book last but as you think about it for a bit you just know it’s all for the money

Awful. He ruined the entire thing with a weak story line and political lectures. Just pretend this book doesn’t exist.

Takes a while. First 100 pages are slow. If I didn’t love Ready Player One so much, I would have put it down. But I stuck with it, and it turned out to be worthwhile. Although this book is way too overcrowded with obstacles that are rushed through at some parts, it was still a fun story.

80% RANDOM ACTION. Very disappointing. 80% of this book is just different quests with no plot development. You could literally randomly generate some quests, replace the ones in the book, and not affect the story line.

Addictive. Couldn’t put it down ‘til the sun rose, literally. When I finished reading, I was hoping for a fix (RP3) in the future.

Just couldn’t get into it. So wanted to like it. Took a long time for any action to start. I just couldn’t get into the suspended disbelief needed to enjoy the story.

Enjoyable Stories vastly different from the movie which I love too. Great story, lots of details not used in the film.

Pop Culture Throwback!. Loved the references to pop culture. Made the book so fun and light

A Disappointing Sequel. Ready Player One was a tautly written thrilling amusement park ride. But large portions of Ready Player Two lacked the plot development and imagination of the first book. In fact, it often seemed like the action sequences of Ready Player Two were simply like “…and then another thing happened, and this thing happened, and then Artemis did this…” that left the reader bewildered and bored. Like the author of another review below, I skipeed large sections, particularly in the Prince section.

Imagination at it's best. I saw the movie “ready player one” dozens of times before I read the book.. Getting to read “armada” and “ready player two” before movie releases has been a great privilege.... For the first time in life I have a love for reading

Forced writing and just bad. I went into this hoping for a good continuation of the world we had come to know. It was like cline took all of that, the very basis of what made his characters and threw it out the window. I’ll be honest I got a few chapters in and just removed the book in disgust. “I woke up like Marty McFly,” might be the most ham-fisted attempt to inject pop culture into a book as I’ve ever seen. Just a poor execution on a follow up.

It made me cry... DANG YOU CLINE!!. I think it was a perfect addition to ready player one. I wish the movie would have done the first book more justice with all the nerdy geeky things but the movies are never as good as the books are. I hope they can make this one just as good if it does become a movie. I’d personally love to see an animated series.

Good continuation. I absolutely loved Ready Player One. So when I saw there was a Ready Player Two, I about lost it! It did carry on a lot of the pieces and themes from the first book that I really attached with. And this ride was still a good one. However, I had to drop just one star because it just didn’t seem to be as fast paced and eventful. But to anyone who read the first and liked it, I would recommend this book as it does really bring around things to a very interesting ending.

Ready but not.. Sure not the quality or style that the first book had. Difficult to finish. Tedious and wordy. Sorry. My hopes were very high. The first book was so good, I can understand that following it would be a mighty task.

Good for what it is.. Easy to read and pretty much exactly what you expect as a sequel. Some parts seemed extremely drawn out and I even skipped a few dozen pages in one chapter. But was a fun read.

Worth it but a few problems. I think that it was way worse than the RP1 but still worth it. The problem was that the trivia came to forced and not natural like the first book. They ending came too quickly and the book was just too long.

Tries too hard to be woke. Went way too woke and did it in places that withdrew from the story. Made it an agonizingly slow read. It’s cool having diverse characters but try to make it organic, not just 2020 perfect world. RP1 and Armada did it too but it was organic so it was just part of the story, and it was great in those books. Too much virtue signaling ruins everything!

Great read!. I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one. Keeping my fingers crossed for Ready Player 3 wink wink nudge nudge ;)

Not terrible. Reads like a screenplay rather than novel.

Embarrassingly bad prose. Shallow character development. Unoriginal plot.. This follow-up has none of the fun and magic of the first. This is not the insightful exploration of life in the metaverse that you may have been looking for or expecting after RP1.

Worse sequel in the history of sequels. Horrid. Truly putrid. Exquisitely bad.

Continue?. A great sequel and send off for Ready Player One! Definitely worth the read, and being able to follow the High Five on another adventure, along with their new friends!

It was "okay". It was fun to remove the characters from the first book but it started to get a little old. The 80 references are great but seemed a lot more forced then in the first book. And not being a Prince can, that huge section bored me.

Couldn’t put it down. The story picks up right where the last one ended. It includes another challenge that results in the growth of everyone. They’re pushed to the limits and the stakes are higher than before. It’s an amazing rollercoaster that indulges the nerdy vibe. It also shares a lesson about empathy, which is lacking in the world.

Page turner. Excellent plot and follow up to Ready Player One... couldn’t stop reading

Ready Player 2. Good, but not quite as good as the first book. A little too wordy. All the descriptions of getting the shard from the Prince’s were way too long.

Couldn’t put it doen. After the first 2-3 chapters I couldn’t put the book down! Such a easy read!

Aweful. When I read this book, I instantly knew it had to have been written in 2020, with all the woke references. I feel people were excited for a sequel, but it wont age well, and it just reads like cheap virtue signaling to make a quick buck, and sell movie rights before people forget the first one, and the actors getting too old. Sad to see a writer ruin his own story by rushing out this hack job of a continuation.

Ready Player Two….?. I really enjoyed the first book, but this one…it seemed like reading an essay that had a max word count that repeated the same concept over and over in almost the same words, over and over, just to meet the required amount of words….it could of been great

Immature writing. Significant downgrade from the first book. Barely made it past the second chapter. Everything you imagine a 14 year old would write about, sprinkled with cliched apocalyptic predictions.

Excellence. Just brilliant book by Ernest once again can’t wait for the movie and a third book to make the trilogy, it should be perfection.

Good sequel. Decent, a bit much but a good sequel. I can picture this as a movie as I am reading it. I think it's going to happen!!

Good but not great. I really enjoyed the first novel more but some brain candy indeed

Beautiful ending. Well… the ending was beautiful. There was a lot of filler and honestly it just gets really redundant. I feel like the same sentences when it comes to description are on repeat. Some parts I just jumped over the details so I could get to the story line. I love the characters keeping up with them was important to me. However with the bad again the ending is very beautiful and a exciting look into the possible future…

Thank you. Bravo!

Too woke. See title...

Really good sequel.. I saw a few reviews complaining. I don’t see why. Almost everything plays fine into the story and future humanity. The nods to pop culture were so detailed I learned stuff I thought I would have known. I want this as a movie! My 9 year old Daughter permanently leaves Ready Player One in the Blu-ray.

It was ok. Not as good as the first, it was a good book to read but the direction it took was not one I liked.

Great sequel. The year is 2022 and Iv just discovered “Ready Player 2”. The book was amazing and an amazing continuation of the first. Thank you for you’re hard work and effort in making it.

How is this at 3.9. This was definitely not as good as the first one but it should have been a bit lower than the first one

Disappointing, very very slow beginning. Not a satisfying sequel. Took all my efforts to plug through the first 100 pages before a plot formed. Characters which I fell in love with from the first books somehow lost my interest in the sequel. The end was quick and fast paced and reminded me of how I loved the first book but it was a long slow slough toward the ending.

Awesome book!. I really enjoyed this sequel. It started out a bit slow I feel and then bam you can’t put it down! Can’t wait for the next one!!!!!

It’s okay...I guess. The story is okay at its best parts. it absolutely stinks of fan fiction at all the other parts.

Too many social issues. I feel like it would have been a better read without going into all of the current social issues: Racism, sexism, identity etc. Otherwise I felt the 80s theme was over the top and parts dragged in story line.

Not as good as the first. Cline would have been much better served to have not injected so much politically correct sexual orientation propaganda. I don’t read science fiction to immerse myself in a social justice screed.

Zero stars. I hate this book but iBooks won’t let me delete it from making a duo with the first release in my library. This is horrible. I don’t even own this dumb book yet here we are.

Sloppy writing couldn’t save this sequel.. I fully understand the pitfalls of the sequel and as such I lowered my expectations of this book. That said, I was still incredibly disappointed by RP2. I would love to tell you that it was that Cline set the bar so high with the first book that the second was doomed to fail. Instead, this booked failed because of sloppy writing and an unimaginative plot. The opening to the novel started so promising, picking up where we left off in our story with Wade and the High Five. For the first few chapters I was hooked... and then things went downhill fast and often. The storyline was cliche and predictable. The characters unsympathetic. By the time the reader made it to the final battle the writing devolved into “and then this happened, and then that happened, the good news was this, but the bad news was this.” It was painful to read and I was grateful when it came to an end.

Meh.. It's ok. Wade is about as unlikable a protagonist as you can get. Makes the story Arc kind of unbelievable. I don't know why anyone would be friends with most off the characters in this book. I wish they had deeper personalities and motivations... But they don't.

Ugh. The sequel that wasn’t needed. It reads like bad fan fiction. Instead of a plucky underdog hero, we have an entitled jerk. The villain is completely unbelievable. The plotting of RP1 was superb, this is a shoddy mess. Who on earth made Cline think this was a good idea? Hollywood money? The film of RP1 was wretched, and nothing to do with the book. RP1 is a wonderful achievement. It is extraordinary to think that this garbage came from the same writer.

Meh. Meh. I’ve read worse books.

Ready Player Two. Can’t even describe how disappointing this was after reading ready player one.

Could have been better, still an amazing book. listen, compared to ready player one. This book is nothing close. It had a great storyline and had some great moments but I felt like it skipped a lot of things. It just happend that Aech loves Prince even though nothing was said about in the previous book? Or that Art3mis loved tolkien when again nothing was said before? I feel like a lot of these moments were forced and that the author used the characters to have these all of a sudden amazing powers to move along the book yk

The Worst. Absolutely terrible, unnecessary sequel. Do not read if you liked the first book.

Ugh. Very disappointing sequel to an amazing first novel
