### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ but TETRIS is a great page-turner that should appeal to any comic fan or ...
*by S***T on November 9, 2016*

Box Brown is hitting it out of the park on this one. I wasn't floored by his (critically acclaimed) Andre the Giant biography, but TETRIS is a great page-turner that should appeal to any comic fan or lover of video games. It really gets into the psychology of game-playing and the effects it has on the mind. All this, and an in-depth examination of the history (as crazy as it is) of Tetris, from Russia with love! I highly recommend it for anyone even remotely interested in the subject matter, or even those who are not. You will be surprised at how much you enjoy it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Games of the mind and mind games and subterfuge
*by S***R on January 23, 2018*

I couldn't put this down and blazed through the whole book in a single sitting.It's a fast reader that covers broad concepts fairly succinctly and works as a great intro to the Cold War thriller that is the licensing battle for Tetris. If your curiosity is piqued, I highly recommend the more thorough dives into the story as written in David Sheff's Game Over Press Start To Continue or as filmed in the 2004 BBC documentary Tetris: From Russia with Love (which seems to be the beat-for-beat basis for this graphic novel).Box Brown's art is easy to follow and makes great use of comic panels to illustrate some of the more intellectual concepts at play. If I had to criticize anything, though, it would be that shifts in time or place are not always clearly delineated.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book review
*by S***E on December 9, 2017*

Tells the history of video games and how the game Tetris came to the shores of America and most of the world in general. Can recommend it to people interested in history of video games or into gaming in general.
