This sprawling and often brutal novel, set in the rich farmlands of California's Salinas Valley, follows the intertwined destinies of two families - the Trasks and the Hamiltons - whose generations helplessly reenact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel.

Steinbeck’s Best Work?
Revisado: 05-21-21
This book tore me to pieces, though I really did love it.
Excellent characters and no shortage of them. Steinbeck’s skill for dialogue is out in spades with this one.

The Walkthrough offers a rare peek behind the curtain of the secretive video game industry from an unlikely perspective, that of a career strategy guide writer. For 18 years, Doug Walsh was one of the most prolific authors of officially licensed video game strategy guides. And now he's ready to talk. One part memoir and one part industry tell-all, The Walkthrough takes players on an entertaining march through gaming’s recent history, from the dawn of the PlayStation to the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Switch.

This book felt a little short. I could understand if there just wasn’t that much to say about his career, but he used 40+ footnotes that could have been integrated into the narrative structure of the book. Yeah, it would have required more words, but also could have provided greater context.

Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent's head and carry it through the goalposts. With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. But all the players are "threeps", robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden's Syndrome, so anything goes. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real, and the crowds love it. Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field.

Sequels are Never as Good
Revisado: 12-06-18
Solid performance, Wil Wheaton is easy to listen to. This one didn’t grab me like Lock-In which did such a good job with world building and a truly interesting whodunnit. Maybe I just got lucky in figuring this one out, but I didn’t get that ‘a-ha’ feeling at the grand reveal, more of a ‘well-duh’, which ultimately left me a little disappointed in this one.
