Think about this: The people who create the devices do not let their children play them. The people who create the games we love get addicted to playing them. Our brains betray us everyday by allowing big businesses to use us like rats in a maze to get rich. If those ideas concern you, then read this book. This book was well written and interesting. I appreciated how the author added many interesting tidbits about games, the people who created them, and some history about how they were created. Often this type of book is only read by the people who live with someone that may need help for an addiction, but not the person with the issue themselves. After all, who wants to read a preachy book just pointing out all your faults that tells you to change? However, the way the author put this together I can see gamers actually liking this book especially if they enjoy Tetris, world of Warcraft, or Nintendo. Anyone who likes to read about psychology and behavioral tendencies will also enjoy this. The human mind is a trap in itself and it's fascinating to see how we are all really wired to respond in similar ways. I felt the ending of this book was weak as the author seemed unwilling to commit to any type of of true belief about gaming one way or another. After all the information that it provided, I found that disappointing because if I did have a gaming issue I now just got permission to take it less seriously. I do think this is another good read for parents as it gives good reasons for keeping devices out of little hands.
