did not like it
bookshelves: did-not-finish, owned
Reading for the 2nd time. Most recently started July 30, 2022.

This is a DNF for me, unfortunately. It has been a while since I've put down a book before finishing it.

I stopped reading this at a point in the story where we jump back into the MC's past. Whilst at the start of this flashback, I was liking it, it just stretched on for too long and I couldn't make myself read anymore. Even the things I started out liking, ended up becoming less and less enjoyable as things progressed. A real shame!

I can see the appeal for people who understand game design & production, but while I do really love gaming, this wasn't for me. I would suggest giving this a go if that is your forte and you understand a little about what really happens behind the scenes in game production. I just got confused and lost :(

Bibliophilic Emily Awesome! Excited to hear your thoughts :)


message 2: by Levi (new)

Levi I give your review 1 star. I didn't read all of it, though. I just felt that reading 1 paragraph was enough to have a firm idea of what was to come.
You can leave a review of a book without giving it a star rating.


message 3: by Tryn (new) - added it

Tryn Levi, if a book is written poorly, you can tell within the first few chapters. Life is too short to force yourself to read to completion a book you are not enjoying (as I just did to prove a stupid point - and this book is crap.) I give your attitude here a 1-star rating, for lack of empathy and pure, juvenile tactics. Cheers.
