"Shelly Mazzanoble shows us 'how she rolls', by meeting her everyday encounters with self-effacing charisma and plucky fortitude," says Dan Milano, writer for the TV series Robot Chicken.

I really wanted to like this, I tried. I shared it with girlfriends, I shared it with colleagues.
No-one writes this kind of stuff. While trying to knock down non-gamers cliched view of gamers, our mighty Shelly just goes and proves their point.
The reader is brilliant, funny, charming, makes what could be a terribly dull book slightly amusing. So full marks for Kathleen, I look forward to hearing you in more and hopefully better material.

Not on my recommended list. Though it is good to see people writing about gamers and gaming in this kind of style.

Oh dear, not as good as it intended to be
