I loved all of the mechanics, the art, the world, and the characters of this game. It's really fun. My only complaint is that the story is short and a little choppy, but the dialogue writing is really good. I hope that the post-game content continues to be interesting.

The thoughtful, poetic writing of this book is both a blessing and a curse, sometimes it opens my eyes to different points of views and other times it puts me to sleep. The concept is very interesting though, and it has interesting takes on the ways that games impact people.

Pretentious (0 more)
I have never given up on a book before. But I found the characters and writing very pretentious. If you haven't read a ton of obscure books, a lot of references will be lost on you as a reader. After 40 pages I personally couldn't take it any more.

I liked this book a lot tbh. The ending was cute, the illustrations were nice, and the writing didn't "talk down" to readers like some picture books do. The only complaint I have is that the pacing felt a little rushed. But maybe that's just me.

Great descriptive writing as always from Garber. (0 more)
Too heavy on the romance - I like a bit of romance don't get me wrong, but this was a little too heavily fixated on them getting their man and I missed the kick ass female storyline. (0 more)
Wasn't the best out of the 3

A must read.
I honestly enjoyed the entire book. From the style of writing to the top class humour. The stories and events, some hilarious, some heartbreaking, shine a light on how wonderful doctors are and how much hard work and determination it must take to become one.

This was one of my favorite books that Ms.Kendig has written. The characters and the story plot kept you moving along through the entire book, you never knew what would come next. I will definitely read more of her books in the future.Thank you Ms.Ronie Kendig for writing a splended story.

Brilliant writing
Actors are really good
One of the best podcasts I've ever listened to!
My dad introduced me to this podcast in November 2020 and since then I've listened to it about 3 times. I love both Parker and Eleanor Peck and hope they get their own spinoff!

"I studied this book at college and have very strong memories of it. There is something very poetic about her writing; it’s sensory. It makes it feel as if you are right there, so much so that I couldn’t stop thinking about the gymnasium as if I had been there."

What a great story and adventure. Presented with real character depth, storyline, action, and just adrenaline on top of great art work, colouring and writing making this very special indeed. Absolutely brilliant graphic novel. picked up by chance but want to read all the rest now. Absolutely fantastic.
