How I read this: Free ebook copy received through NetGalley

I loved this book so much and now I'm sad I'm finished with it. If you love retro gaming, I'm sure you'll love it too. It's just that the guy who wrote the book seems to be one of those people you can't help falling in love with as you read. You just kind of want to actually know them and hang out with them, cause they're just so wholesome. The last such book for me was the memoir of the Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins (Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey).

But of course, it's not just that the author's vibe is lovely, the story itself was lovely to read. I happen to adore pinball and while the story was not about pinball, those industries intersected a lot at the time, so it was remarkably interesting to get a glimpse into the same offices of those legendary pinball companies. I guess I should find me some pinball nonfiction next.

I thank the publisher for giving me a free copy of the ebook in exchange to my honest review. This has not affected my opinion.
