Reviews for Last Gamer Standing

[Xiomy Santiago · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Last Gamer Standing was a quick read and while I enjoyed the gaming aspects I didn't really connect with any of the characters. However, I did appreciate how the author wove the misogyny a woman gamer might face. Overall, the book is more of a plot driven story than anything else with great themes.

Buen audiolibro.
Bastante buena dicción por parte del narrador lo cual buscaba ya que me sirve para seguir aprendiendo pronunciaciones del inglés.
En cuanto a la trama, si te gusto la película ready player one, te puede interesar, es más simple pero está bien.
