banualtay 's review for:
The Queen's Gambit
by Walter Tevis
This is one of the best written books I’ve read recently. Tevis writes so smoothly that you get lost in his lines even when you don’t know anything about chess. I couldn’t get enough of the book.
My biggest regret is to have watched the tv show before reading the book. I would love to imagine all myself. But I’ll definitely watch it again.
My personal opinion: when you restrict someone from doing the things they love, they always surprise you. We see Beth here from not being allowed to play chess in the basement with Mr Shaibel to forcing Borgov to resign in Moscow. Unbelievable. I would love to know where it goes later, yet I am sure she would win the next one as well.
