This book is all over the place. I like the 256 “chapters” being the 256 stages in the game, but the flow of the book kept being interrupted because of that. Trivia was spliced in constantly, making it a big mess. I would’ve enjoyed it more if it had been all one big story with all the nasty bits in one go. I like the emotional aspect and what the game means to the author though.
The format of these books are both fascinating and infuriating all at once. I came for the game, but learn more about the player. And I'm not entirely sure if I like that yet. I'm all for rambling personal creeds, but after four of 'em, I'm not sure it "works". This one was particularly frustrating with the made-up crap.

I still have a photocopy of a paragraph from it stuck up in my room.
Do you remember that time our house almost burned down?
It was me who did it. I took the newspaper that you hadn’t
read yet and I stole the matches from the pocket of one of your
jackets and I started a fire with them in the bushes that were
next to the house. I thought that it was going to be more than
a regular burning fire, though, and I still don’t understand
why God didn’t appear in the flames of the burning bushes
to talk to me. That isn’t how it happens in the Bible, and I had
some questions that I wanted to ask.
