Brooks was both an obvious and an unusual choice for a novelization...Reads less like narratives than like introductory texts on problem-solving theory, albeit lively ones with zombie attacks... * New Yorker * A wonderfully entertaining and uplifting read and particularly great for gaming enthusiastic kids and reluctant readers. * ni4kids *
