Loved some chapters but some of them didn't work for me (especially the second to last). I don't know much about gaming, but, for my surprise, I liked reading about the process of making a game, in addition to other themes that are greatly explored in this book like friendship and the development of the characters for 20+ years.
Overall a good immersive read, though, for me, it could be a little more fast paced.

On a more personal level, while I enjoyed TATAT, it hasn’t become one of my all time favourites. I suppose it is just not the one for me.
The most important thing I have to say about this book is:
It’s about The Secret Third Thing.
