Book Reviews of Word Freak: Heartbreak, Triumph, Genius, and Obsession in the World of Competitive ScrabblePlayers
Book Review: A fascinating insight into the world of serious Scrabble
Summary: 5 Stars
What really makes this book work for me is that Stefan writes as a member of the competitive Scrabble community, not just an observer. He captures perfectly the weirdness of the Scrabble world, while unashamedly admitting his own addiction. A great read.
