I saw this was being made into a movie, which looked like a cool movie, so I wanted to read it first. This is a cool book. If you're looking for something entertaining, this is it. It was fun, sassy, creative, weird. The idea of the OASIS is phenomenal, and I'm disappointed the versions of "online life" we currently have aren't as cool. But I don't even have an internet connection at home anyway, so it's all irrelevant to me!
I do see two potential issues with the movie, however. In the trailers, there's been a cute chick, and I'm sad because I suspect they cast some generically cute girl as Art3mis, instead of a real person as she is described in the book. Secondly, that genericlly cute girl says, "Welcome to the rebellion." to Wade's real-life face and then some SWAT team guys bust in, also NOT in the book and, while I expect it has been added to up the adrenaline more, it is totally unnecessary. It's already a good book. Ernest Cline likely spent a year, or more, to get it here. No hollywood moron is going to improve it in a few weeks worth of half-assed effort.
Conclusion: a fun book and would highly recommend
