The german version of Ready Player One. Just the most disrespectful drivel about nerdom i have ever read. Absolutely embarassing and god damn was it a slog. I think that was the only book i ever hated and regretted reading. And after reading a bit of the english original i was even more disgusted as it was even worse…
It’s not just the German translation, it’s not really much better in English. What I managed to get through felt just like a “hey look at these references” and wasn’t entertaining at all to me.
The english original is awful but the person who translated it to french managed to almost completely fix the writing, and while it still isnt perfect its SO much better

I have no clue as to how that book got so famous. Ernest Cline writes like a redditor…
