Expected this book to be a study of role-playing subcultures, but it turned out to be more about a person's journey to reconcile his D&D-playing past and being an adult. I liked the way the book explored various subcultures of fantasy role-play, from LARPers to WoW players. Also interesting was his visit to Middle Earth aka NZ. As a memoir, this book works.
