“I think you mean a public failure. Because we all fail in private. I failed with you, for example, but no one posted an online review about it, unless you did. I fail with my wife and with my son. I fail in my work every day, but I keep turning over the problems until I’m not failing anymore. But public failures are different, it’s true.”

She can usually find something positive to say about a book or, failing that, the cover or, failing that, the author or, failing that, the author’s website

Ґебріель Зевін вчергове описує життя звичайних людей. В цей раз ґеймерів, показуючи читачу їхнє життя від початку (тобто майже народження) і до певної точки їхнього життя. Вчергове не забуває про всі недоліки нашого життя, чим книжка стає ще привабливішою для читача і не кормить солодкими пілюлями, від чого, інколи, стає легше. Єдине, що не дуже сподобалось, це деяка недоказаність в порівнянні з попередніми романами, але життя триває і хтозна, може ми колись почуємо про Сейді і Сема знов.
