The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis

 I didn't watch the series when I came to know that this is based on a book. Usual choice :)

Finally, I got this in my hands, and will say that I got hooked to it. I generally don't stick to the books to complete but this was one of those exceptions which had such a fast running narrative that I finished it in a day.

This is an amazing book with a very tight plot. We can see Beth growing over a period of time from a non-existing child in an orphanage to the queen of chess board.

Of course it has its dull moments which actually felt like being written to add the pages or maybe for the script but that can be overlooked.

Definitely worth a read even if you've watched the series!

Love
