THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING PHENOMENON

This is the story of Sam and Sadie. It's not a romance, but it is about love.

When Sam catches sight of Sadie at a crowded train station one morning he is catapulted straight back to childhood, and the hours they spent immersed in playing games.

Their spark is instantly reignited and sets off a creative collaboration that will make them superstars. It is the 90s, and anything is possible.

What comes next is a decades-long tale of friendship and rivalry, fame and art, betrayal and tragedy, perfect worlds and imperfect ones. And, above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

Critic reviews

‘Exhilarating, timely and emotive’ GUARDIAN

'I devoured it. So enjoyable' ZADIE SMITH

‘Love, friendship and betrayal…gorgeous’ SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Very interesting read

This was a different kind of story for me, and I really enjoyed it. The time span it covers allows you to be part of the characters stories through different phases of their lives. The characters are real and flawed (more than I am normally used to - but its written really well). I also enjoyed the performances, well suited to the characters and the story.

Thought provoking story of a generation

What a great read. Loved everything about this book, from the way the author describes the characters, builds them over generations and carries themes throughout to the touching on of many topical experiences of a generation in a non-confrontational way. One of my top reads for sure!

Flat

The story was ok - it flowed along and told the story. But there was no adventure or excitement.
The characters for all the detail still came across as flat.
Sadie was selfish and lacked self awareness which whilst common the your early 20s was frustrating. I’m sure others found Sam frustrating. I liked Marx the most of the three main characters.
Overall if you don’t want to spend time on this book but want to cause it is popular don’t. It’s an okay book but nothing to write home about.

Loved this book - I’m 72 and found it so authentic!

Generations exploring different generations. If there was ever a generation ‘gap’, this book celebrates and straddles them all! Relevant and honest, depth of characters, and the fun of creating games all rolled into one. A great book club read - for open minds!

Fantastic

I had no idea how I would respond to this book and I absolutely loved it. It was captivating all the way through.

Really nice book about friendship

really nice book about friendship and the unique love and joy it can bring to life

Left a bit unsatisfied

Couldn’t stop listening to this book, but at the same time I felt very frustrated by all of the main characters throughout the entire book. Kept waiting for a positive shift in character by Sam and Sadie, but was let down all the way through.

Loved the character development so much

The story beautifully unfolds and the characters are so real and true. Loved the narrator voice shift and the ending.

It’s about computer game makers

I wish this had been top of the other reviews I read before I bought this. It would have meant I bought the book earlier. These are my people. And I love this book. Absolutely brilliant. Even if gamers are not your people.

Wonderful

Such an interesting and moving novel, very well performed. Great world building from Gabrielle Zevin - I really believed in these flawed but lovable characters.
