I know Dave personally. He is my boss. This book opened up a new world to me. I love playing video games, but after reading his book, i realized that if a character in a game has his family killed, i find out why i would feel bad. Its not just common sympathy. This book is serious. The people that it took to make this book and the amount of time it took, its amazing. Whats up with all these people hating? Just because you didnt like it, doesnt mean its not good. The people who review it poorly probably dont even play games. Honestly, come into this book expecting your mind to be blown away. This book will not displease. seriously, this book is 576 pages of gold.
