Es un libro que te gustará si eres un gamer absoluto. A lo largo del libro se utilizan sinfín de referencias del entorno de los videojuegos, tantas que parece imposible poder llegar a captarlas todas. Pero considero que ello le añade un encanto especial al libro, de modo que cada lector tendrá una experiencia distinta al leerlo.

En cuanto a los personajes, es un libro que te deja ver tanto lo bueno como lo malo. No se pretende crear personas perfectas, sino precisamente profundizar en las relaciones humanas entre personas normales, con sus virtudes pero, especialmente, con sus defectos. 

A pesar de ello, los personajes se me han hecho muy entrañables y no resulta difícil ponerte en su lugar y entender y respetar el porqué de sus decisiones, pese a poder no estar de acuerdo con las mismas.

En general, me parece un muy buen libro para pasar una tarde relajante de lectura, con sus altibajos y algún que otro giro argumental inesperado.

I don't know if the book didn't live up to my expectations or if I was just not in the right headspace to appreciate it. I expected a 5-star read, but it was just fine.

It's very well written. However, nothing about it surprised me or really stuck out to me. The emotional parts didn't land as I think they were meant to.

I hesitate to recommend it, but I also hesitate to write it off.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a heart-wrenching tale of souls bound by friendship and love throughout trials and tribulations and healing. The main characters are intricately and wonderfully written. When you think it can't get any more tragic, it somehow gets more tragic. I also appreciate its strange metacommentary on video games.

They were right, everyone was right, dammit this book is good. I was debating whether to 5 star it bc a decent part of the back half made me feel detached and depressed but like… thats what the characters were feeling too so it just made me feel, and i teared up a bit multiple times, and the ending was really good at tying shit up emotionally without a ‘happily ever after’ shit. The second person perspective labyuage after [major spoiler event] was incredibly well done and after it ended and went back to Sam and his thoughts on [same major spoiler event] it hit me like a truck, almost cried but unfortunately didnt bc i suck at crying. 

First book ive ever annotated, and i have just a bunch of kinda kitchy nuggets of wisdom from in here.

I love this book.
