The Queen's Gambit

 

The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I watched the Netflix series first, then read the book. Usually, I prefer to do things in the opposite order, but was glad I did it this way. The series follows the book so closely, that it helped me picture the scenes as I read. This was a very well-written and engaging book. The story is fascinating and well-told. I kind of skimmed the chess game descriptions because I don’t play chess, but that didn’t detract at all from the story. There were a couple of scenes that made me very uncomfortable and that I wish weren’t in the book, but, for the most part, I really enjoyed reading it.
