My Review

So I should've done a little post about what I thought about this book before I picked it up but I'm going to do a little brief thought on it before I picked this one up. I've been dying to read this book since it was announced because I loved the first one. I really wanted to know what happened to the OASIS after the High Five took over. I thought it would be interesting to see what happened to this world and how the gang handles it. 

Well, this book doesn't do that really. It starts off a week after the first one ends and the beginning was so STRONG! There was just so much information in the first 50 pages and I was loving it. I just felt like it was so intense and there was just so much info that I was loving it. But then it kind of teetered off and I was so aggravated with Wade. I get that he had some rough times but I feel like he was just a completely different person this whole book and it started right after those first 50 pages. I just felt like things were emphasized when they didn't need to be. This time there were 7 stages to this quest and the first 4 were amazing and had so much speed and information and it was perfect. But then The 5th stage until the end pretty much was just so frustrating! I ended up giving this book 3.5 stars because of that. I was a solid read and I really appreciated a lot of the things that happened. Even the ending I kind of got a glimpse of what happened to this world but I don't like how it felt like a stereotypical ending for a sci-fi book. I just wanted more from it. So let me know what you all thought of this book so we can talk about it because I really want to love this book but this is all I got right now.
