      It's been a long time since I liked a book less, especially one I couldn't stop reading.

      I should have stopped at the two page list of film/pop culture references that included a) no works by women & b) "of course, Kevin Smith."

      I truly thought it might be a parody. Or that this protagonist's certainty of what was "canon" would be upended. But...spoiler alert: no.

      Ps normally I don't like to disparage works of art publically. But this one has been so, um, *rewarded.* And I find it morally suspect.

      There is a moment when the protagonist buys a gun for the 1st time & says that it feels "familiar" bc he's shot so many in the video game.

      I thought the author might return to reverse our understanding of these kinds of moments. He only did in the most deus-ex-machina way. Bye!

      Ms Kazan, may I ask what you think of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE? Is it less offensive to you than READY PLAYER ONE?

      A Clockwork Orange has its horrorshow moments of vulgarity, but the message is clear & strong and the writing is brilliant.

      Moments? Vulgarity? This is the book that coined the term "ultraviolence." It consists of episode after episode of gruesome brutality.

      The whole point of the violence though is to shine a light on choice/free will. In RPO those same dilemmas are not played with.

      I wholly agree that the gruesome brutalities in a story may be essential to its successful articulation of some deep and crucial truth.
