Engaging and fast-paced, this gripping coming-of-age novel of chess, feminism, and addiction speeds to a conclusion as elegant and satisfying as a mate in four.

Eight-year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control.

By the age of 16, she's competing for the US Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting.

Adapted from the 1983 novel by Walter Tevis, the stylish miniseries starring Anya Taylor-Joy is about the life of fictional chess prodigy Beth Harmon. Due to the popularity of the show, the gaming industry saw an unprecedented interest in chess; sales of books about chess and chess boards skyrocketed! Whether you are a theory nerd or hungry for a lesson in the game’s history, these chess-related listens are a great opener.

The novel and audiobook were really well executed. I found the narration to be engaging and the overall story both entertaining and informative as someone who has the most limited knowledge of Chess, I hadn't realized there was so much that went into it. I haven't seen the mini series but now I'm very interested!

A truly enjoyable read.

I ate through this book almost non-stop. The namesake Netflix series was beautiful; I loved "Mockingbird"; was a big fan of "the Hustler" (movie), so this was a natural for me to grab from Audible. I don't need a narrator to "act" the characters, and Amy Landon delivered in a measured, dry tone, which is perfect for me. If the writing is good, it doesn't need an emotive narrator, just clear annunciation and perfect pacing with just a hint of personalization. And Tevis's writing measures up. Even detailed chess jargon was rendered interesting and exciting with just a sprinkling of colorful embellishment. He keeps the reader involved in the psychological drama, and in becoming intimate with this powerful lead character with her human frailties and almost supernatural talents. I'm now a hardcore Tevis fan and owe it to him to move on to reading his whole body of work.

Riveting, even without a clue about chess

I know nothing about chess but this book grabbed me from the beginning. I read that a lot of people didn't care for the narration but I thought it was well done. You won't be sorry if you give this book a chance.

Loved it !
