I like to read books and I started playing chess recently so I thought that this would be an excellent combo. But it was boring. 70% of the book is description of her games almost from start to finish. And chapters. OH MY LORD HOW LONG THEY WERE. I just kept convincing myself to keep going otherwise I would dnf it so long ago. And I loved the show mind you. So if you think that you want to read it because you loved the show think again babes
