priyamroy 's review for:

The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis
3.0

Decided to read the original book version because I absolutely loved the Netflix adaptation. This might be one of those rare times where the TV show is slightly better than the book, feels really strange to admit. The book is by no means bad, it's actually rather well written, but it lacks charm and the strong supporting characters that made the show SO good. A lot of the content and dialogue carry over, but imo there's enough different material to justify reading the book as well.
