Hands down one of my favorite books of all time! I laughed, I cried, I fangirled over 80s games and memorabilia!

Very interesting read. I am not into video games and I read enjoyed reading it. Ar some point it gets a bit stuck in the narrative but manages to have a good ending
4.5, maybe even 4.25, but rounding up (at least for now) because it’s still the best book I’ve read so far this year. We’ll see if I bump it back down to a 4, eventually.
Loved the catch 22-ish style of writing where it feels like word association and the ending sentence of one section serves as a topic change or character focus for the next section. I devoured this in 2 days, and ugly cried while reading for longer than I’d like to admit.
If the first ~80% of the novel ran, the last 20% dragged / crawled / limped / twitched. Not sure if it was a pacing issue or what, but dialogue became stilted, social commentary became heavy handed, and it felt like something beautiful ended in a whimper. Had it not been for the ugly crying, the last handful of pages were egregious enough for me to question if the previous hundreds of pages were “even that good”
