| I just finished Game Night myself, and I echo the recommendations. It's a well-written book, and a fine example of Jonny's traditional humor.
However, I think the ending fell kind of flat (it seemed to me more like a "well, I'd better find a way to wrap this up" ending more than one that had been planned out from the start), and those already familiar with Jonny's previous works may find that they've already pretty much read his takes on various gamer personalities elsewhere - these are in novel form, granted, but it's still ground he's already covered. I found the numerous typos rather irritating, as well - but those of you familiar with my reviews probably won't find that to be a surprise.
Still, if you've never read a Jonny Nexus piece before, I can definitely recommend Game Night. Overall, I give it a low-to-mid "4 (Good)" on the typical 5-star rating system.
(I'll post a full review once the EN World Review pages are fixed...which hopefully will be any day now.) |
