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 that examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love. Yes, it is a love story, but it is not one you have read before.
Vakker. Få bøkar har rørt ved så mange aspekt av meg sjølv. Det er ikkje den beste boka eg har lest, eller den mest underhaldande. Det var delar av historia eg var usamd med, og som irriterte meg. Men eg klarte ikkje å slutte å lese.
Anbefalast til alle kreative sjelar som likar å skape nye verder.
The characters and their relationship as it evolves over time are the highlight of this book. It's a great tale of a strong friendship as it ebbs and flows over the decades. Felt very real and very human. I appreciated it for how much it made me consider my life and relationships.
The overall plotline and where it ends up are less compelling. I liked it but wouldn't read it again.
This is one of those books that attracts you from the very beginning and you can't stop reading (until you realise that you don't want it to end that soon, either!). An interesting and well-written story that follows the successes and failures of its complex characters, driven by their passion for video games and full of lights and shadows. This is a story about gamers, and video games. But it also about life, passion, success and failure but, above all, about human relationships, and lives and worlds that could be but are not. Like a video game with the greatest engine: our imagination. Like a book.
A beautiful story of people doing their best to love another. Just clever enough and just heart-wrenching enough
trying to keep my cool about it but this book fucking destroyed me, it's so good
