looks like the movie is going to spend a lot more time on life in the Oasis than I'd hoped.
I thought the most interesting thing about the books was the interactions in real life and how he navigated that.
As for the book itself, eh, it was a little too 'young adult fiction' for my tastes. Had too much of that teenage love angst and Twilight vibe to it. By about 2/3 of the way in, I realized I was just reading it because I was pot committed and not because I was actually enjoying it.
But it had a lot of interesting movie potential (building the world could be very cool), it just looks like they tipped the balance too much towards VR based on the trailer.
