Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

A friendship story. A game story. A love story. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a bittersweet novel about all this and more. I don’t think you have to be a Gen X gamer to appreciate the flashbacks and the game parts, but I think it hits different if you are. You were there, then. It becomes your story too, if only for a moment.

I enjoyed the writing, and the way characters and all mention of games and gaming feel accurate and authentic. It also left a mark, I’ll be thinking about a certain expression of love for a long time to come.

Feel like everyone I know read this book last year - so I'm a little behind the curve - but finally I got around to see what all the hype is about.

I really enjoyed it. Having been a big gamer as a kid a still somewhat now, it all felt super real to me.

The characters were beautifully drawn, fully realised, deep and complex people.

There were a couple or irks I had (someone got word-of-the-day toilet paper for Christmas eh?) but nothing that stopped me having a great time with this book.

A wonderfully written story about the adult years of growing up, on a backdrop of the intense creative processes of video game design. I want these games to be real. I want to feel the characters expression through their art.

There are books where it’s a novel situation played out through understandable and straightforward characters. And then there are books where you have no idea how someone can keep so many deep actors in their head, you wonder if they were real people. Each character with their own motivations, and perspective. Sometimes I cheered for them. Sometimes I hated them. Always I loved them.

In any case, it’s a beautiful story. Heartbreaking and tragic.

There is a beginning and a middle. The end it's up to you.
