mrscottaustin 's review for:
The Queen's Gambit
by Walter Tevis
Like every else, I got addicted to the Netflix series. I listened to the audiobook of this because it was free on Audible and I thought, “why not?” I wondered if I’d have cared about the chess moves if I hadn’t gotten the visuals first, but I did enjoy them. I find Beth that be a very likable heroine, but there were also times I want to shake her, so that makes a good story for me.
The Netflix series was pretty darn faithful to the book, with a few exceptions, like how her adopted mother plays piano and how Jolene seeks her out. They are all good choices for the change in media, so the book is worth reading on its own.
