Ready Player One was a best seller back from 2012. A "Best Seller" book has a wide ranged definitions and qualifications, praise being able to come from national publishers, to reading blog, all the way to amazon and other online shops. Though the numbers may be skewed for multiple sources a best seller is known more as a book that is sold in large and vast amounts across whatever platform they are on.
Similar to how Wade is the most popular and followed OASIS character in the novel, at one point the book he was in was the most popular book said by the New York Times. Though just as Wade's fame may last for a small while so do books, as many are published and written and sold each hour, the chances of being a best seller are wide and yet slim.
This is because a best seller can be of many different types: Company, Critic Rating, Stores, Online webpages, and even the work from the publishers assumptions. Not only that but best sellers could be for different lengths of time, like "of the day" or "Of the decade", or for different genres, "horror" and "Sci-fi Romance", not even the mention the best seller of a particular author. The variations and ability to become a best selling novel is end less.
To be clarified as a best seller is all set be different standards on different platforms, though is usually the book that has sold the most copies in a set period of time. It must be accepted by that group for being the best seller. Writing a best seller may seem hard at first, especially if you aim to be a best seller for the New York Times or Barnes and Nobles- the book should be relatable, well written, and loved by the people. While on Amazon you can sell three copies of a fake novel and become a best seller... talk about the differences of regulations.
Books, once they become a well known best seller can remain a best seller for a long amount of time, The DaVinci Code perchance is still discussed today, Harry Potter series is a common and well known and loved series, where each book was a best selling and loved world of magic and imagination. Where some other best sellers like, The Seeress of Kell has faded into the boughs of time.
Just as with Harry Potter's world, many best selling novels later passed into becoming great selling movies, while others made a horrible representation of the novel that was more well beloved. Just as one of my favorite series, The Owls of Ga'hoole Series the movie was a poor, out of order, sadly represented and poorly directed movie, but with a great soundtrack. I just hope they don't mess of my book too, Ernest Cline would not be proud.
For even though many books in the eyes of the public are forgotten and poorly written, I love all book as if they were best sellers.
