I really looked forward to this one. It just wasn't what I expected. I loved ready player one so much, and I think this book is so similar to what happens with most bands, and comedians. There first CD and specials, has 10 years of writing, and passion and life in them.
The follow up is demanded in such a short time period in comparison, that its hard to live up to the first. I still really like his style, I loved the concept, this one just didn't feel as fleshed out.
I felt like it needed a bit more time in the oven. Its a fun book and I flew through it, but I just didn't have that same feeling I had from the first book. Armada is a good book. Not a great book nor a terrible book. The problem is that it follows the dynamic story of Ready, Player One.
All of the subversive character assumptions and tropes that were challenged in RPO were nonexistent in Armada. This book, while moderately entertaining, was predictable throughout the entire story. I don't ordinarily recommend audiobooks over traditional print, but Wil Wheaton is an extraordinary narrator for this novel, not the least of which is because he gives an extra boost of credibility to the story given his own nerd superstardom. I recommend this to Sci Fi genre inductees, video game enthusiasts, and teen reluctant readers.

Like [b:Ready Player One 9969571 Ready Player One Ernest Cline this book is dripping in references, especially those from the 80s (handwaved as a teenager trying to reconnect with his dead father, but I still have a hard time picturing a a teenager now obsessing over cult classics). An adolecent's l33t gamer skillz are required to save the human race from an alien invasion. Some parts of the attack are a little too video gamey, but what does it mean? A tad predictable, but fun to read. Zack is somewhat less Gary Stuish than RPO's Wade, but this still feels like a gamer's fanfiction.
Zack Lightman has spent his life dreaming. Dreaming that the real world could be a little more like the countless science-fiction books, movies, and videogames he’s spent his life consuming. Dreaming that one day, some fantastic, world-altering event will shatter the monotony of his humdrum existence and whisk him off on some grand space-faring adventure. But hey, there’s nothing wrong with a little escapism, right? After all, Zack tells himself, he knows the difference between fantasy and reality. He knows that here in the real world, aimless teenage gamers with anger issues don’t get chosen to save the universe.
