Absolutely recommend, I'm glad it's on my shelf.
Do not miss out on Beth Harmon's inspiring story because you think the chess will bore you or confuse you. Even without a shred of understanding for chess, the satisfaction and tension in each move is so well written that you will understand the weight and importance of every piece, it's stunning.

This beautifully charming post-apocalyptic world is not as idyllic as you'd like to think. There are so many fascinating messages within this twisted world and the short pages with elegant wording almost feel like poetry. But I have so many questions.
