Hi all,

I just finished reading a really good fiction novel about computer games 
in

the near future. I think that the book was written for adolescents, but it
is really good. It makes you feel like you are really in the games. Here 
is
the information from BARD, about the book. If you do not download books, 
you

can order it from your NLS library.
Paulette

Ready Player One
Cline, Ernest. Read by Erik Sandvold. Reading time 16 hours 46 minutes.
Science Fiction
2045. Multibillionaire James Halliday dies, leaving his last will and
testament online
for the world to see. His massively multiplayer online game OASIS has a
hidden feature--an
Easter egg--and the person who finds the egg first wins Halliday's 
fortune.

Some
strong language. Bestseller. 2011.

The reason  I thought the book was for teenagers was that the book is
written in the first person of a teen, whose friends are also teens. I will
check out the Dream Park books you mentioned.

I'll add my recommendation for Ready Player One.  The Audible version is
narrated by Will Wheaton and he does an excellent job.
