I didn't learn much about Meier's personal life, and many things were just glossed over or simplified; but it still was interesting. Meier went out of his way to make sure he isn't posing as a hero or taking himself too seriously.

The book's name was chosen well: not only because of the reference to the naming of Meier's games, but because it describes the structure of the book, too; each chapter of the book and his life is described and defined in terms of the games he was working on at the time.
