    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    I liked this, but I didn't love it. I think I’m definitely in the minority here. Though beautifully written, I failed to truly connect with many of the characters. What I loved and enjoyed the most was learning about gaming and the industry. Since I’m a gamer, it was interesting to see how games come together on the other end. I thought the book was going to be more about that aspect which is where I think I was let down (totally my fault). 

    There is something interesting about the way Gabrielle Zevin writes the passage of time. That is, slightly unclear with perspectives all over the place. I loved how the author had subtle sentences about seemingly unessential things that explained these complexities. The small things always connected back and many plot points were woven together. It explored complexities of friendship/love so well.

    While disappointing, it was still entertaining and I enjoyed the 90s video game industry backdrop and designer POV.

    Loved this 💖 just wish there was even more! Sometimes cutting from one scene to the next meant not getting what felt like a "full" story, but that also reinforced the more vulnerable parts and the narratives about how individual these thoughts and experiences are. Beautiful art all the way through. Probably will read again!

  • Let's chat audiobook narrators

    I consume lots of my reads via audiobook, and have definitely had the experience where a narrator's voice is simply not doing it for me. I've also found a couple of voice actors whose audiobooks are delightful! What are some audiobooks or narrators you'd recommend? (and why?)
