On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn't heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won't protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.

Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel …

Lo he disfrutado mucho!

No tenía ni idea de lo que iba a leer, solo sabía que era bueno y que iba de videojuegos, había referencias y eso. Así que imaginé que sería algo de ciencia ficción tipo "Ready player one", iba yo muy despistado 😅.

Pero lo he disfrutado mucho mucho, es una novela, que por supuesto va de la vida misma, y de sus personajes, y que gira en torno a los videojuegos, que disfrutarás más si has jugado y conoces las referencias, pero que tampoco son necesarias.

Me ha tenido muy enganchado, MUY bien escrita, de verdad. Se nota que hay un trabajazo detrás, de personajes que evolucionan y cambian y son verosímiles, y de hilar cosas, para soltar información en el momento adecuado, con desplazamientos en el tiempo que no se sienten como flashbacks/flashforwards típicos (de esos que interrumpen la narración para darte una pieza que justo es …

De los que te destrozan, pero te gusta

Este libro me ha hecho sentir como cuando sientes con alguien una intimidad instantánea. En un chat, en un viaje en autobús... das por casualidad con alguien con quien puedes conversar como si os conocierais de toda la vida. Mejor y más intensamente que si os conocierais.

Unos personajes desagradables a ratos pero siempre creíbles y humanos. Hay fealdad y desgracia pero sin regodeo. Una narración inteligente, que juega contigo, y una traducción superior a la media, que hace frente a bastantes complicaciones con elegancia. Maravilloso.

structurally flexible. engaging characters. lightly nostalgic (but not too much!). devoured in 4 days: it was enjoyable!

it was sad, at times. i think i enjoyed all characters? except for probably dov. the rendition of relationships over such a span of time is something i don't recall ever reading. the internal monologues and renditions of conflicts from different points of view were something special, i feel

Beautiful and heartbreaking and tragic

A wonderfully written story about the adult years of growing up, on a backdrop of the intense creative processes of video game design. I want these games to be real. I want to feel the characters expression through their art.

There are books where it’s a novel situation played out through understandable and straightforward characters. And then there are books where you have no idea how someone can keep so many deep actors in their head, you wonder if they were real people. Each character with their own motivations, and perspective. Sometimes I cheered for them. Sometimes I hated them. Always I loved them.

In any case, it’s a beautiful story. Heartbreaking and tragic.
