A review by kingaw
The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis

reflective tense fast-paced
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Chess games are described well, but apart from that the plot development is uneven. The beginning feels rushed. Characters are rather shallow, there isn't much development or even deep character description. A few plot points feel underdeveloped. I like the concep but the book felt rushed to me.
