This book, as the title suggests, is about video games. Without giving away the plot too much; the book is set in a futuristic world people spend most of their time on a computer system called “OASIS.” It allows the person to control another person using virtual reality. The book is about a competition and the winner will win billions of dollars and complete control over OASIS. The story revolves around a young poor boy named Wade who becomes the most famous person in the world.

Highly recommended. A magical book with a cast of characters that you will really care about.
