This book is not something that I would have picked up for myself and so glad that a friend recommended it to me. The writing style is always accessible even when the material (technical info about video games) is not, though you don't need to have that to enjoy the book. There is a lot of love in this book about strife, and it meant I fell in love with the characters -- it was a shocked to me how true this was when I got midway through the book and had to put it down to sit with my feelings. Overall a great read & something I would highly recommend.
