New Review

I'm a not a huge novel fan but I decided to take the time to read 'Playing to win' and I can honestly say it was time well spent. Great choice of vocabulary and give me a different prospective on life in the eyes of A young ambitious chess player. Excellent read and I definite recommend. The novel can be read within a week so does not drag on.

Review

Just had a quick review from Tim Fraser. "A fantastic read! I appreciate how Mark does not over complicate the novel! Once again a great read!! I liked the fact that I know very little about chess but still understood and enjoyed the read."

Quicker than my sister ;).

Just as a quick note... I sold Tim a copy of the novel while working in a place where we were treated like cattle. Even when working I was still thinking about selling the novel. And two years later there's a review :) Done this in a few other workplaces (treated better in those) and will post more reviews as I recieve them.

Write a Review

Hi. It's 2:34 and I'm writing a promo post :). If you're cool enough to have bought my novel I'd like you to write a review. You're already smart enough to have broken through the social norms and buy it, so now how about really getting to grips with it by writing a review! Let's take an example. Seven years after the novel came out I have finally sold a copy to my sister. (Full price, no discount but Paypal took a cut BOOOOOOOO!) So now it's time to see if Suzie can complete her homework assignment and write a review. It'll be a bit biased but whatever. If she does I'll post it on this blog. Still it's a real thanks if you're NOT a member of my family and have bought the book. If you'd write a review that'd be really cool and I'll appreciate it.
