laurapedulli 's review for:
The Queen's Gambit
by Walter Tevis
It was like watching the series all over again! I was amazed that the dialogue was exactly the same in the series.
Book was great and took me only 2-3 days to read. I wish the author delved a little more into the emotions of the characters, but other than enjoyed his direct, descriptive and well-paced prose. (The descriptions of the chess games went a little long, but I appreciate Tevis's clear passion and knowledge of the game.) I also like that he doesn't always spell things out. He doesn't interpret things for you and lets the reader fill in some of the blanks. (show, not tell)
