This is an autobiographical story of how Felicia Day got where she is today. So if you enjoyed The Guild or Dr Horrible's Singalong Blog or just like Geek & Sundry, you might want to pick it up. I also liked her on the Table Top episodes she was on, that's why I picked up the book. Her personality shines through the pages. It reminds me a little bit of Wil Wheaton's [b: Just a Geek|18329364|Just Your Average Geek|Kristina Springer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1440450264s/18329364.jpg|25873051] but that may be due to the fact that those two kind of go together in my head - probably because TableTop and The Guild.

Felicia has an amusing, often self-deprecating writing style that makes for enjoyable, and diverting reading. There are quite a few anecdotes in the book that made me laugh outloud. One of my favorites was her account of meeting Lieutnant Uhura. Also I had no idea she was a violinist, and had been acting long before she wrote The Guild. I could relate very well to the episode where she talks about her troubles when she first tried to get into writing her own material, and how The Guild began. If you've tried your hand at writing, that chapter may be very interesting. (But: this is not a book about witing advice.)

Towards the end she talks about #GamerGate and that's where the book becomes more serious. This major internet incident/upheaval/flame war (or whatever one wants to call this) is a prime example for what I think is the wrong way to have a discussion, and it seems to have traumatized quite a few of those involved. Internet: please get out of the ugly teen years. Grow up. After reading that particular chapter I find it quite brave that she spoke up again about this topic.
