Second review on a book of these publishers so i'll make it short and lazy this book was as good as the last book i read(Jagged Alliance 2)and that was a really good book too.

If you've ever loved any videogame, you should probably read this. If you're a fan of good creative nonfiction, then you should probably read this. What's most interesting is not the description of the game's narrative, or the battle system, etc. (I'm not fully aware of how D&D works), but the way that it relates back to Matt Bell's life. I read this not because 'Baldur's Gate II" was on the cover, but because "Matt Bell" was on the cover. This doesn't disappoint if you're a fan of his. Do not come into this thinking it's simply a review of Baldur's Gate II, because while Bell explains the game well enough for any layperson, it's not about that. I thought this was a really fascinating longform essay. You can probably get through it in one sitting if you really want to.

Fantastic essay. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I enjoyed learning about the game, Baldur's Gate II. But even more, I enjoyed learning more about my own son, who wrote the boy.Thanks Matt Bell for 'putting yourself out there."
