Ernest Cline is a sellout who got lucky piggybacking off the success of popular franchises. I've seen high schoolers write better than that guy.

I agree. I couldn't get through the first 10 pages.

Since I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else in the comments, I thought I'd leave this here: https://372pages.com/episode-0-a-book-were-probably-going-to-hate

"372 Pages We'll Never Get Back" is a podcast where Mike Nelson (MST3K, Rifftrax) and Conor Lastoka (Rifftrax) read and review books they're "pretty sure they're going to hate". RP1 is the first book & source of the podcast title, since it's 372 pages. It's like Mystery Science Theater 3000 for books and it is hilarious, I highly recommend.
