Reading this is almost like an invitation from Zevin to enter a game...with every scene and moment so carefully constructed. Just brilliant Skinny, *Books of the Year* What comes next is a decades-long tale of friendship and rivalry, fame and art, betrayal and tragedy, perfect worlds and imperfect ones. And, above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love. the writing, narrative, structure, (the gaming), the characters: (major and minor), and their relationships are LOVABLE as can be….

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

in the end, i know that this book is absolutely not for everyone, and not everyone who loved and hated this will feel the same emotions throughout the experience. for now, i leave this book at 4.5 (it will change eventually) but Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow will stay in my mind and my heart for a long time. Gets at so much about work, love and storytelling. It's a book that spawns great conversations Maggie Shipstead, Guardian Finally, she turned. She scanned the crowd slowly and when she spotted Sam, the smile spread over her face like a time-lapse video he had once seen in a high school physics class of a rose in bloom. It was beautiful, Sam thought, and perhaps, he worried, a tad ersatz. She walked over to him, still smiling—one dimple on her right cheek, an almost imperceptibly wider gap between the two middle teeth on top—and he thought that the crowd seemed to part for her, in a way that the world never moved for him”. When Macbeth soliloquises of “tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow”, he speaks of the relentlessness and futility of life. When Gabrielle Zevin employs the same words, she speaks of the “possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption” offered by video games. In the virtual world, death is not the end and losing is but a chance to try again; there are endless chances, endless restarts. You do not have to be a gamer to see the appeal. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a special book -- one that transports readers fully, as games do their players, into its immaculately crafted world The TimesFinally, while the first half of the book is interesting and well written, the second half falls apart under the weight of its own ambitions. I also believe that my reading experience would have been marginally better had I been more familiar with the gaming jargon. So, I decided to set that aside and focus on the relationships at the centre of the story and only then did the book make sense to me. occasionally, i would read a book that leaves me speechless, unable to grasp my emotions. this is one of those times. Time moves forward, Sam and Marx are roommates at Harvard. Marx is an aspiring actor while Sam pursues his passion for making games. One day, Sam happens to meet Sadie on campus (she's there for a gaming meeting) and they connect (over Oregon Trail of all things). Sadie gives Sam a game she's working on, and the rest is gaming history--a story of creating amazing, creative games together. Zevin has the ability to make you care about her creations within paragraphs of meeting them... whose fates I consistently worried about when I occasionally had to put the book aside.

It’s my sister who died of dysentery, Sam Masur, Sadie said. I died of exhaustion, following a snakebite”.

Multibuys

When I was around three, I remember going on vacation to visit my grandmother in Hawaii and seeing video game cabinets at the hotels: Ms. Pac Man, Donkey Kong,and the like. I was attracted to them without knowing why. Probably, the first video game I ever played was Ms. Pac Man, which is the first video game Sam plays in the book, too. with a look at the effects of tragedies, violence, illness, death, parents, grandparents, feelings of loneliness, fitting in, admiration for gaming designers….(especially women in the profession)…love for people, love for one another, and an enhanced respect for the benefits of gaming …… There is a time for any fledgling artist where one’s taste exceeds one’s abilities. The only way to get through this period is to make things anyway

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow - Goodreads

Utterly brilliant. In this sweeping, gorgeously written novel, Gabrielle Zevin charts the beauty, tenacity, and fragility of human love and creativity. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is one of the best books I've ever read John Green An artfully balanced novel - charming but never saccharine. The world Zevin has created is textured, expansive and, just like those built by her characters, playful Pippa Bailey, Observer The focus on relationships was superb but I particularly loved the reinvention of Sadie and Sam’s relationship and the quote that says it all…

Christmas Cards & Gift Wrap

Zevin’s prose hits all the right notes. She expertly implements a variety of writing styles, and, with unexpected twists keeps the reader guessing until the very end! In today's western culture--which is seemingly insistent upon everything having to be a social justice/political statement that slams you over the head on exhausting repeat--the way this book handled said topics felt...organic. Their spark is instantly reignited and sets off a creative collaboration that will make them superstars. It is the 90s, and anything is possible. the characters in this novel (who played and created these games) WERE able to apply their technical skills to their relationships. It was subtle—but not-not unnoticed. As a teen, I played my fair share of Sonic, Mario Brothers, etc, but nothing with the intensity of this book, realistic games that blur reality and fantasy. I was immersed.
