♾️ stars!

“What is a game?” Marx said. “It’s tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It’s the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.”

I don’t really know what to rate this book. Lots of mixed emotions. Both good yet frustrating, yet that frustrating is good?

Thoroughly enjoyed this clever, generous hearted story about video game design, friendship and flaws. I thought the earlier parts were the best and most engaging, especially the Unfair company's start up period, but then so did the characters and that was part of the problem.

No one is perfect in this story

except Marx

and a couple are very damaged but all are relatable and have recognisable and consistent motivations for their actions. Highly recommend.

I wish Dov had got his come uppance though; what a skin crawler of a character.

A new one for my ‘All Time Faves’ shelf! This is one of those books that makes me think, yes, this is why I read. What a book! What a story! And also - how clever is Gabrielle Zevin?!!!!! Immediately checking out her older work. The research, the ideas, the storyline and characters.. what on earth?!? Soooo smart!

Loved the 90’s gaming setting for this one - especially when references were made to the classics. But mostly I just loved this bunch of mixed up flawed lead characters and their (frustrating at times) friendships and love. Argh! So good! Also, LOVE the cover and how it ties in, and the title - oh the title - and where it’s from!

Thank you @netgalley for my gifted ebook.. I ended up with a physical copy from the library because it’s so pretty. And I’ll need to buy a copy for my shelves now too… My fave so far (I’ve only read three though) of the Booker long listers.
