Engaging and fast-paced, this gripping coming-of-age novel of chess, feminism, and addiction speeds to a conclusion as elegant and satisfying as a mate in four. Now an acclaimed Netflix series. Eight year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By the age of sixteen, she's competing for the U.S. Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting.

Awesome character

I am unable to express how awesome this book really is! Reader will immerse of journey deep into the life of the main Character (Beth Harmon); the early development if her career and considered as prodigy child up until her fame debut on international level. I love to learn that a genius will always face different level of challenges in life. Highly recommended especially for those that already watch the series at Netflix and need more details of the story.

For chess fan

The Queen's Gambit' is an incredibly engrossing book. I like Beth's character, the fast pacing, as well as the rags to riches story, are the three primary reasons for this. Highly recommended.

You don't have to play chess to like this book!

I absolutely loved this, but will admit I did this in backwards order by watching the Netflix Series first. Once I was part of the way through the series I confirmed it had started as book and then promptly switched over. The book had little nuances that were different, but overall the book and the series were very much aligned. The characters are well thought out and I really don't see how the book or the series could have been improved!
