I didn't like Wil Wheaton's reading of Ready Player One either. The main character came off as, I don't know, whiney I guess. I have nothing against Wil Wheaton himself. The reading just didn't do it for me.

Masters of Doom is a great book though. I read it a couple years back. I recommend picking up a copy if the audiobook isn't working out.

Well, the main character is whiny, and I found the book to be terrible, so I don't think your opinion is too off base.

I feel the same way. Which is odd considering how many people suggested it on /r/audiobooks. But I found the nostalgia pandering to be a bit much.

hear hear. I cannot honestly understand why that book is so popular.
