Ready Player One.
I laughed my ass off starting on like page five. It was such a hate read, total hail corporate nostalgia bait slop. Never took the coworker who recommended it serious again.
It was the worst twenty pages of masturbatory fanfiction I've ever read.
Having read the book, the movie is significantly better, and the movie wasn't even that good really.
Neither were good. I'd argue the book was better for what it is, which is 80s 90s nostalgia porn for Gen X/Millennials. The book was just a string of cultural references and the movie was just bland grey action in the vein of the transformers movies.
That makes sense. Haven't seen the movie yet but I imagine getting high and gawking at the color explosion could be a nice enough evening.
When i saw how bad the movie was, i kept hearing that the book was good. I finally read it and omg i couldn't believe it. It was just like the movie, it was just a guy talking about things that the author liked.
I loved it, but its not a work of art, its a tween drama book...but im obsessed with everything he wrote about in that book so it was just fun to read for me.
2nd one sucked bad. Movie wasn't great for me
