#DystopianTravelingBook

#Aprella This book was my first thought for today‘s prompt #VirtualInsanity 👾👾👾I read this as part of the #DystopianTravelingBook and I really enjoyed it, especially the 80‘s references. I‘ve been seeing mixed movie reviews...share your thoughts, Littens....Did Spielberg deliver!?!??

Cinfhen @WarpedSweetness did you ever trace the book??? Hope the book is still making its way around the world @4thhouseontheleft ✈️📒 7y
TrishB I haven‘t seen the film either! 7y
Cortg We saw the movie over the weekend. The characters and idea are the same as the book but the challenges were completely different. Not necessarily bad but definitely not as good as the book. We all felt like the 80‘s pop culture got lost in the movie, which is what I loved about the book. Overall, it had it‘s ups and downs. The graphics in the Oasis were great. 7y

MommyOfTwo Going to see it tonight. 7y
emilyhaldi My husband saw the movie and said it's equally good as the book, just different. Hard to pack it all into the movie. He said they obviously capitalized on the action scenes and had to cut out a lot of the pop culture reference research details.. I'm not really interested in seeing the movie for some reason 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y
Cinfhen Thanks for the feedback @emilyhaldi @Cortg my kids saw it with their cousins the other night...some loved it and some thought it was ok but none of them had read the book 🙄 #worthless Hope u like it @MommyOfTwo 7y
Cinfhen I remember u weren‘t really into seeing the film @TrishB after reading the book...have u changed your mind?? I‘ll watch it eventually 7y
Reviewsbylola I never saw the movie. I may eventually but probably not. I liked the book though! 7y
AndreaReads I loved the book and I really liked the movie! It was fun, action-packed and was sort of like the book. If you compare it straight to the book, you won‘t like it, but if you remember that it does what movies do and pick and choose things from the book (and you‘re a fan of Spielberg‘s work) then you‘ll enjoy it! 7y
Mdargusch Haven‘t read this and probably won‘t. I‘m not a dystopian fan. 7y
AmandaL This was also my first thought! 7y
Cinfhen Great minds @AmandaL you‘re not really missing much by skipping book @Mdargusch although I think I might like it @Reviewsbylola 🤷‍♀️ 7y
Cinfhen I‘m thinking I‘d like the movie @AndreaReads bc Spielberg generally delivers ❤️and I‘m not married to the book...I‘m willing to accept changes 😉 7y
Meredith3 I enjoyed the movie, but there were A LOT of changes ! 7y
MommyOfTwo It was good, yes lots of changes so I think the book was better but still a very good movie 7y
TrishB I very rarely get round to the films!! 7y

I‘m listening to this one while driving and reading the book when I‘m not. Midnight weighs in, too, that it is a very good book but she‘s a little too sleepy right now to care.

PictureandBook Just got it in from the library. So excited 7y
Cinfhen @WarpedSweetness did you ever pick up the #dystopiantravelingbook package?!?! 7y

I‘m glad I signed up for the #dystopiantravelingbook to read this one. I looked for a used copy, but didn‘t find it, so I was putting it off. But now I‘ve had the pleasure of spending time in OASIS, which is a much better place than the future outside the simulation. I was a young adult in the 80s, so the pop culture references were fun! Great quest story with strong characters and great action. #travellingbook

Reviewsbylola I thought this one was a lot of fun! 7y
StacksNShelves Really loved this, but haven‘t read his other book 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @StacksNShelves The rating here on Litsy for Armada is only 58%, which hasn‘t made me jump for it. But now I can‘t wait for the RPO movie! 7y

DivineDiana This book opened my mind to alternate educational models. Loved! 7y
CaffeinatedFae @BarbaraTheBibliophage & @StacksNShelves, I really enjoyed Armada but it isn‘t as amazing as Ready Player One. 7y
BekaReid Looking forward to reading this one...eventually. ☺ 7y
jfalkens I got this for my husband for Christmas, hopefully he enjoys it too 😊 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @DivineDiana Sure did - OASIS would be a whole new way to home school, that‘s for sure. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @KristyJewel Thanks for weighing in! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @BekaReid “Eventually” is the optimum word for the majority of my TBR. 🧐 7y
BekaReid @BarbaraTheBibliophage - optimum word. I like that. Isn't it though? 😉 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @blog_gal I sent the book off to you yesterday. You should receive it Weds or Thursday. 👏🏻👏🏻🧡🧡 7y
alisiakae I‘m glad you enjoyed it!! 7y
