This book was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure if it would be a topic that I found that interesting but actually since it mainly focused on the commercial rights and dealings with the USSR rather than the physchological addictiveness of the game I really enjoyed it, though I know this is the opposite for many reviewers.

It repeats itself on occasion but not as much as plenty of other non-fiction books I've read. The structure I liked, switching between key characters semi regularly and giving good foreshadowing without giving away too much.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by the author, who is very American, the voice might not be everyone's taste, but I am a fan of authors narrating their own work and got used to the twang after a couple of chapters. What was odd though, and somewhat jarring, was every so often a different voice would say a sentence in a completely different tone, I'm guessing footnotes but it was never clear. 

I'd recommend this to someone interested in international business towards the end of the USSR rather than video game, which it turns out I was.
