It’s a book that offers something for every kind of reader It is a book that comes from the heart, the story of becoming comfortable in your own skin, of embracing the things you once loved and probably, if you tried again, would probably still love." - Atticus Review " Baldur’s Gate II is successful in nearly all aspects. "The book thrives on those tensions between shame and love, denial and gratitude." - LA Review of Books Bell reminds us that to write well-and to live well-we must remain true to our hidden, buried selves." - Fiction Advocate " At once a memoir, a lecture on storycraft, an apology, and a love letter to the classic Dungeons & Dragons video game.
Bell’s book succeeds because it lays this conflict bare." - The Rumpus It’s an uneasy, courageous, and ultimately vulnerable attempt to bridge a divide most of us are unwilling to admit exists. "Authors are far from free to write what they want Baldur's Gate II is about exactly that.
And disturbing in a good way: Bell clearly still struggles to reconcile these two selves-writer and gamer-and struggles too to figure out why it’s so hard for him." - Brooklyn Magazine This voice is disturbingly open and honest. "The manner in which Bell writes about these events feels so surprising to me: with straightforward clarity, full of anxious prevarication. Baldur's Gate II is a great read I highly recommend you don't avoid it." - Dan Wickett, editor and publisher of Dzanc Books " I simply plowe d through this book in two sittings.
