NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠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 a highly acclaimed, award-winning 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

Title: This book knocked me off of my chair
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2019
Review: I picked this book because it was on a flash sale but holy cripes. It was awesome. The author wrote about a very scrappy childhood that could have been simply depressing or trite. Every time I felt it was gonna veer into a stereotypical degrading slide, the author picked it back up. For instance, the heroine was raised in an orphanage. She was picked on and invited to an older girls bed for the standard teenage affair. It could have gone badly or defined the rest of the relationship. But it didnât. The two become friends later in life.
The heroine is then adopted out to a couple that simply want a respectable but unpaid helper around the house. Again, it could have gone badly but after the husband runs off the Mom becomes the manager to our female chess champion. Little events in the book make the heroine a wonderfully non typical figure. And I learned so much about chess. I knew zero but now I will follow the upper levels with a little more interest. I might even learn how to play.

Title: A lonely girl genius obsessed by chess
Date: Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2017
Review: This book has been on my shelf for about 30 years. I bought it originally because I had met the author shortly before his death. I was working as a patient escort in the hospital where he was receiving treatment. He was well-mannered, but terribly bitter, which I suppose is understandable if one knows heâs dying of cancer. I had put off reading the book because I was afraid it would be a bitter book. Nothing could be more wrong. This is a book that is doggedly upbeat. Beth Harmon is a plain and unloved child who is put in an orphanage after her mother is killed in an auto accident. She lives a lonely life with only two friends. One is a tall black girl who is also unloved; the other is a secret friendship with the orphanageâs old janitor, who teaches her the game of chess. Chess is a life-saving and inspirational experience for her that she becomes obsessed with. She is a true prodigy with a natural gift for the game. Itâs chess that gives her the only real joy in her life. But she also needs love and emotional support from other humans. In childhood, she begins using tranquilizers that were distributed free in the orphanage at first, until it was declared that they were unsafe. When they become unavailable she begins stealing them. She occasionally seals money, too. In her mid-teens her adoptive mother gives her a beer, which she takes to like a duck to water. Beth is a very believable character. Iâm surprised that a male author could write such a convincing adolescent girl. The novel follows her chess career from playing with the janitor in the school basement to the major world tournament against the worldâs top player, a Russian grand master, at the height of the Cold War. Can she beat him? Or will she fall prey to her addictions, as she has several times before? This is an extremely suspenseful drama that I had difficulty putting down. For sheer entertainment, I donât think Iâve read anything that can beat it in at least ten years. And I know next to nothing about chess. This is book is beautiful and compassionate, as well as suspenseful. Five stars.

Title: Breathtaking Honesty
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2020
Review: The chess in this book acts as the ink on its pages, theyâre both a medium by which to convey meaning, to tell the story without pestering us with such silly details as the trees from whose pulp the pages were pressed, or how a character looks or the dimensions of her house.
The meaning conveyed somehow astonishingly distilled the essence of life, with beauty in its triumphs and in the exposed nerves of its errors. A ripping yarn, expertly told. The rarest of tinctures, even a drop of which sates a thirst I as a reader never knew I had.
I was dismayed to learn that this will be a Netflix adaptation. Regardless of how well the movie is received the book will lose something in its inevitable comparison. So much more the loss for all future readers.

Title: Failed Gambit
Date: Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020
Review: General review: A story with an unlikable protagonist and lots of chess. If you donât like chess, know nothing about it, or only know a little, this book probably isnât for you.
**** SPOILERS ****
I have no idea how this book is rated so highly. I picked it up for a couple of buck when Kindle had a sale. I stopped reading because of one scene early on, but drove on through it after hearing about the Netflix series.
First, the protagonist is an absolutely horrible character. She steals without remorse. She treats virtually every person in her life as expendable objects to be discarded when their usefulness is done. There is no character improvement. By the end, you know she is just as messed up as she was at the beginning. One chess loss and sheâll be found dead in a hotel room surrounded by booze and drugs.
Next, somehow people think this is a feminist book. The trailer for the Netflix series plays up that point. Obviously, they werenât paying attention. Except for her adoptive father who briefly enters and leaves in three sections of the book, no man in the book treats her poorly. And the problem with the father is less Beth than whatever was going on between him and his dead wife. Itâs the women with whom she has problems. Jolene sexually assaults her. Her adoptive mother is a drunk and pretty much ignores her. The only time she takes an interest is when she finds out Beth can provide money and travel. The female reporters donât want to talk about her chess ability. Reading this book without preconceptions and one comes away with women being terrible.
Meanwhile, Townes treats her seriously. The janitor teaches her to play and provides her with more opportunities. He even fronts her first tournament fee, which she never pays back. Watts and Beltrik help her. She uses them and tosses them aside when they canât help her any longer. The reactions of the players losing are typical chess player reactions. I play in chess tournaments. None of those reactions were specific to her being a woman. Instead, once she has won a few serious games, she garners the respect any male player would earn. There wasnât one obstacle to her chess playing that was put there because she was female.
Next, the author takes some cheap shots at Christians. They pop up two times. First, the orphanage is Christian. Now, Beth may not have liked the way things were run, but she was treated well. She wasnât abused by the staff. The tranquilizers given to the kids werenât some evil plot. Itâs the 50âs. Even today we hand out drugs for all sorts of reasons without thinking too hard about the consequences. The dean allows her to play once she finds out about it. The dean* only stops her playing when she is caught robbing the pharmacy. Later, Beth is given money by a Christian group to play in Moscow. Beth returns the money when they want her to issue a statement supporting the groupâs goals. This is treated as being beyond the pale of decency. All I could think was âWhat did she expect?â The whole thing seems petty. It is shouting âI hated being raised in a safe environment, by people who cared, and who tried to put in a good home.â
The whole Jolene and Beth story is a mess. As stated before, Jolene, who was older, sexually assaulted Beth. They knew each other a few years and then Beth, as a tween, is off to her new home. She goes looking for Jolene six or seven years later. Kid friendships donât last like that. Even in that short amount of time, both would essentially be strangers to each other.
In the end, I canât really recommend this book.
* Beth later begs the dean for Joleneâs address, against the orphanageâs policy, to contact her. The dean does give her the information. Later, Beth tells a reporter about how horribly the dean treated her at the orphanage. She even asks if that will make the article in hopes that it will.
