This was a like a long extended dream. The kind you have at 4am. The kind that wake you up and wonder - how could it be so vivid and SO absurd? You remember parts of it like it really happened and other parts you just cannot recollect no matter how hard you try.

Yep, this was just a dream. And I'm sure it'll be different when I read it again. And that I will.

Couldn't put it down for the first 40%. Then interest dipped sharply at 60% and failed to recover. It's written in a speculative thriller sort of way albeit without much to reveal. Also the constant analogy-making thesaurus powered writing style gets tedious fairly quickly. If you haven't read it, the only thing you're missing on is some valley goss you can get in a summary. To be fair, I would have liked it more if it ended at the 50% mark, the second half draaaags.

This was such a good surprise. So well written and so much to take away even if you're not a hard core game designer. Will definitely be reading again at some point. Highly recommend.

Liked this better than Tina Fey's and Amy Poehler's memoirs. Rainn has lived a fuller life and I loved listening to him tell his story.

Started off very promising but the narrative eventually turned my brain to jelly. Life's too short so giving up on this.
