An adventure of letting go

Revisado: 09-07-24

The story is a well written adventure that fans of The Midnight Library and The Humans will enjoy. It gives you the best and worst of humanity and all the feelings. And also, the challenge of what it really means to live.

Beautiful, heart-wrenching, and worth reading again.

Revisado: 02-07-24

I just read this for the 3rd time. It points out the ways we get it wrong when responding to the hard times. And there’s no instagram post, saying, or positivity that changes the fact that sometimes, life is really hard. Also, it’s a painfully beautiful reminder that by meeting people where they are, it is more powerful and connecting.

Why did I wait?!

Revisado: 01-20-24

I bought this book several months ago and for one reason or another, I didn’t read it until now. I think I was worried it would be too technical and formal. The story is wonderfully human and a good reminder that we are all human. Funny, insightful, and equal parts uplifting and heartbreaking. So good I have to read it again. If you’ve ever been to therapy, you’ll get it. If you’ve never been, maybe you should read it.

Also, the narrator has a wonderful voice to listen to. One of my favorites, so far.

All the things… delightfully done.

Who knew a novel about a woman, a young man, and an octopus would be so intriguing? The story guides the reader through the perspective of all three lost characters and their journey to finding what was meant for them all along. Audio was beautifully done, as well.

A beautiful story that will make you rethink what you know about life. This is for anyone who is unsure or unhappy with where their life is. Or anyone who just likes a good adventure. Enjoy!

Loved the story. Keep writing JoJo! Without saying too much, I would love it if there was a 4th book! Loved the narrator. Hope Anna does more books!

Lovely story.

I would recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a good Christmas story. If you’re a fan of Charles Dickens, you will enjoy this story. This book takes on the story of Mr. Dickens. It has subtle humor and heartwarming seriousness. I couldn’t stop listening. And I loved Euan’s performance!

Best popular read since Harry Potter!

Revisado: 12-10-17

Ernest Cline wrote a great adventure story that the average reader who has any fond memories of the 80’s or video games since Atari will thoroughly enjoy it! The story keeps you turning the pages (or listening intently) all the way through. David... vs Goliath. The only odd thing in the book is a single rant against all religion. It really didn’t add to the story until I realized, though, that it was speaking to how desolate the times are when humanity is without faith and the lack of caring for their neighbor. But the base storyline is where the magic is. Adventure, suspense, love... you’ll even find yourself laughing as the characters are faced with challenge after challenge in the hopes of winning the “lottery”; which is the ownership of the OASIS virtual reality and casts amounts of money that would transform their lives as they fight off the competition and try to overcome against all odds.

Also, Will Wheaton does a fantastic job narrating this story. It may be his best audio narrative performance, yet.

What are you waiting for? Ready, Player One?

Satisfying read full of adventure.

I loved this book. The story was full of adventure and intrigue. It gives the reader a chance to see how it's never too late to go on an adventure. You never know what could be next. Also... The narration was very well done with a clear voice.

Lovely story that continues to show the reader all the many layers and aspects of being a human, how we are all searching for something,... and about how life is now...
