I picked this one up for my book club and breezed through it in just a handful of days. It tells the story of two friends who go from hospital-bound gamers to world-famous video game designers over the span of roughly 25 years. There were a lot of great, heartwarming moments and discussions on love (and not necessarily romantic love), friendship, and the creative process. I enjoyed getting to know these characters, who from the hop are shown to be imperfect and have to go through great personal growth in order to overcome the obstacles they face. I will say that I thought the precipitating event that brings on the third act of the book felt a bit hokey too on-the-nose in reflecting an issue in today's society. The final 100 pages or so of the book suffer for it, and that's what kept the book from being a five-star read for me. Even still, this was a fun read that I would recommend for anyone looking for a solid work of fiction that's several steps above fluff reading, but isn't a mind-melter either.
