I feel this book is misleading or dishonest or perhaps just unclear. I enjoyed reading through it, and the style is clear and interesting enough to look at, but it never really takes a stand on anything. It's a book that wants to impart some type of wisdom and then never makes it clear what that wisdom is.

At the center, it's a conflict a young man faces about whether to continue his dead father's dream that he become a doctor. He doesn't enjoy it. He enjoys playing video games, and is good enough that he could make a career of it and does for a short time (yes people get paid to play video games these days). At times it praises video games, and for many of the right reasons. At other times it damns them, and I can't figure out why. Even the damning parts praise the genre, despite the context in which they're damned, and I suppose that's why I couldn't really endorse this book in the end, as much as I liked its subject matter.
