Book Rating
The book drew me in quickly, and I would say is a huge must for any gamer, or child that grew up in the 80s.
It's a real nostalgia trip, with so many references throughout, that there will be something for everyone.

However, I had seen the film a few years ago, and I feel like this allowed me to get drawn into the world faster, as I already had a feel for it, so some of the gaps were already filled in for me.

The main draw for this book was watching the main characters pure enjoyment of the puzzles, and the real time peril of the chase and competition. It gave a real sense of what video games are truly about - escapism.

There is a lot I could say about this book, as it touched on a great deal of real world issues, and couldn't be more relevant to now.

Overall, there are a lot more pros than cons, and I'd highly recommend!

"It was one of the most intense ways of getting into the adult world and I saw it when I was really young. I couldn’t believe that there were stories that were so close to reality. It felt like that, it felt very real."
