I was wondering if I was the only one who thought the book was terrible. Once I made it past the first third (it was tough, but I didn't pay for the book so I just read it on my phone when I was bored) I was able to enjoy it for what it was.. mediocre fanfiction.

I think you might be giving Cline too much credit. I've read much better fanfiction than "Ready Player One". Even the bad fanfiction chock-a-block full of nostalgiac references doesn't stop to explain it's references every other page. I literally hate-read through RPO on a transatlantic flight because the screen for my seat was broken and I had nothing better to do.
