In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

The movie was better
Revisado: 03-06-22
Most of the time when you read a book and then watch the film adaptation, you say to yourself, "The book was better." This book in my opinion was way worse than the film adaptation, The author spends way too much time talking about the nostalgic 80s era and its influence on this futuristic setting. If you were to strip down all the times the author mentions an 80s reference (and then goes in detail about this reference) you'd be left with a much shorter story. Another thing I couldn't get over were the awkward and cringy interactions the characters have with one another. The dialogue is so cheesy and bland I couldn't help but think I could have written better character dialogue than this. I read about half of this book before I couldn't read anymore because I hated the dialogue so much. Months later I saw the movie adaptation for the first time and thought I wasn't going to like it because how awful the book was but as it turned out, I actually really enjoyed the movie. Sure the movie doesn't follow the book as the events happen verbatim but whoever wrote the script did a much better job making the characters much more engaging and less cheesy. Performance was OK, but not good enough to keep me listening.

Tom Wolfe - one of the 20th century’s foremost voices in cultural criticism - went from local news reporter to international icon in 1968, with the publication of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Now voiced with vivacity and vigor by Audible Hall of Fame narrator Luke Daniels, the non-fiction swan-dive delves into the world of hippies, hedonism, and everything in between.

Ken Kesey & the Pranksters invite you to the Test
Revisado: 01-29-20
Narrator does a great job capturing the essence and psychedelic vibe of the 60s as he recites Tom Wolfe's story on Ken Kesey and his group of Merry Pranksters

Though Jack Kerouac began thinking about the novel that was to become On the Road as early as 1947, it was not until three weeks in April 1951, in an apartment on West 20th Street in Manhattan, that he wrote the first full draft that was satisfactory to him.

An American classic
Revisado: 10-10-19
Although it's quite a lengthy book, it is magnificently written like one long train of thought of a man traveling across America in the late 1940s and early 50s. The narrator does in excellent job giving life to the story.
