This book took me forever to get through. Most of the time I was bored or annoyed with the characters. There is a lot of violence and abuse that doesn’t seem to have a true purpose. The book felt like it was trying to be progressive given that it takes place in the early 1990s, but then had one of the main female characters in love and obsessed with a creepy, older, abusive, pos man. Not for me. 🤷🏽‍♀️

The concept/premise was great but I feel that Zevin didn’t pull through with the execution. Felt like it was trying to juggle so many parts or elements that it resulted in way less ‘signal’ than there is ‘noise.’ I think it would’ve benefitted with some more structural edits/different editorial decisions. Often there were parts where the prose felt quite flat or bloated, and while I appreciate the attempts at social commentary it often felt shoehorned and could’ve been integrated into the narrative better. (Same with the homages and descriptions of video games). Second half felt weaker,  and while I did find Sam to be interesting I generally find that the characters were not very compelling. I think that this story may have worked better as a TV series/film

I listened to the audio version, but I wish I had obtained a physical copy because there were parts I would want to reread and terms I didn't know. I still enjoyed it thoroughly. I will be thinking about it a long time.

really liked it, it made me want to play more video games and made me more aware of what goes into them. 
also showed me that every artist, no matter the craft, has more or less the same struggles.
this book has my heart,
even though i thought marx death was kind of unnecessary but im still thinking about that
