Reviews

[David · Rating 2 out of 5]

Startling new revelations in the backstory behind Q*bert. If history deems this book cannon (as I'm confident it will), then it offers unique insights into the history and motivations behind Q*bert, as well as Coily, Ugg, and Slick. Consider your world view shaken.
