An OK Thriller from a Very Good Comics Writer

The Oracle Year by Charles Soule

May 10, 2019 by Halbs Leave a Comment

Charles Soule ranks highly on my list of comics writers because (1) he’s a fellow attorney and (2) he wrote the criminally underrated “She-Hulk” run of a few years ago.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

I actually first read this book, Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline, a couple of years ago. And, at that time, I only gave it four stars.  I thought it was good, and sometimes even great, but uneven. Although I was familiar with a lot of the RPG gaming references and 80s movie references, the arcade and video game references were, for the most part, completely over my head.
