Story
It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Not the best, but passable. Like soggy toast.

Its not a bad story, it just gets pretentious and preachy. The main character knows it all and is rarely if ever proven wrong. Boooooo. After a while you know whats going to happen as the story evolves. Don't hate it, don't love it.

Story
In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

Story
Shari is a med student, months away from being a doctor. Mace is a coder on his first day of an exciting new job. When the world comes to a sudden and horrifying end, none would have expected them to be among the few survivors. Hyper-aggressive undead zombie creatures hunt anything living on the surface, where even the grass and trees can kill you. Hiding underground is safe, but not much of a life. Their only escape is a virtual world of magic and monsters where Shari can use her healing skills, and Mace can focus on something other than his fears.

I hate listening to this book. It doth suck rotten toenails, it's roll your eyes bad. The story is alright, the dialogue is not. I hate the interplay between the main characters, it sucks. Why does it suck, why do flowers suddenly appear when you are near? I don't know but it does.

Some of the better literature I've read recently. Somewhat predictable, but not painfully so and interesting.

Mage Errant: Publisher's Pack contains books one and two of the Mage Errant series: Into the Labyrinth and Jewel of the Endless Erg. Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely cast any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively.

So there are great books, look elsewhere. There are books that grab your attention.....elsewhere. And there are books that hobble along because someone took their crutches. It ain't bad, but it could have been much better.
