Daniel's reviews are honest and seasoned with nostalgia. The nostalgia doesn't overshadow the critical review of games. Throughout the book, Daniel shares his opinion from the past and how it influenced his current view of a game. This is a great read for children of the 70's and 80's who want to relive some of their past. I have two criticisms:
1. I did come across a few typos here and there but that can be fixed in editing.
2. There are no pictures. I imagine this is due to licensing issues but it would be nice to have a few images of some of the games.
This is a great book to have around if you're thinking about adding a particular retro game to your collection
