A review by liestef
The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis
5.0
It’s extremely rare that I give a book five stars, but I couldn’t give this any less!
I thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish, and it’s even better than the Netflix adaptation (which I admit to seeing first).
It is enthralling in places, and made the game of chess - which I know absolutely nothing about - interesting to me, to the point that I now want to learn it!
I got so engrossed in this that I forgot all my troubles, and for me, that is what a book should do.
I listened to the audiobook version, and while the narrator was truly awful, I sped it up to a comfortable speed.
