First 2 chapters are very vivid,

Definitely a page turner... the depiction is so vivid. You really feel like you’re in 1920’s California.

Very rarely have I been taken so much by a book. In one of my notes for this book I have commented that the only difference between me and Beth is that she escapes life through drinking and abusing tranquillisers.

Beth Harmon has become my escapism!

Like any good drama thriller this book leaves you wanting Beth to win, not only at chess but in life! I’ve tried to put it down twice today but can’t.

Gripping read, can’t wait to see the adaptation

Fantastic read! I can really relate to Beth, the main character.

Fantastic read, gripping story and great writing style. 2 chapters in 20 minutes

Fascinating biography!

Fantastic book! The very first chapter starts to deal with issues such as a stagnating parish and the concept of modernising the Catholic Church.
