**AUDIOBOOK** 
 Yes! Yes! Yes! This is so much what I needed in my life to break my reading slump that's lasted pretty much since Christmas. It was PERFECT. 
 Imagine where the real world has gone to shit and the only escape is a virtual reality known as the Oasis. You work, study, make friends, hang out, and practically live inside this Oasis. When the creator of the Oasis dies he leaves a challenge. A challenge worth a LOT of money and control over the Oasis to the winner. The only catch is you need to be great at trivia and more specifically anything and everything 80's pop culture related. Wade our main character is the perfect geek for this challenge and has devoted his whole life to finding Halliday's winning egg. 
 The layers of the game, the race to the win, and the slight romance all had me going. When the story started focusing slightly on the romance I started to get a little bored (maybe romance = reading slump lately for me?). It didn't last long at all though and quickly jumped right back into the action and suspense. 
 LOVED IT.
