I haven't read anything in a while. After reading a whole lot at the end of last year, I kind of took a long break before hopping into anything again, and I started off with something light and fun. This book is great, and I'm glad I picked it for my first read of 2024. It's packed to the brim with nice illustrations, fun facts, and an infectious enthusiasm from the author that I couldn't help but love.

It was okay. Pretty informative but not very entertaining.

This was a quick, delightful and happy read that really made me miss playing pinball in the 70s and 80s. I still remember the first game I played with my brother at some campground that had a building for vending machines and one pinball machine, I must have been 7 or 8 and was hooked. Thanks to my local library system for suggesting this book as part of their 2023 Winter Reading Challenge under the genre of ‘Pictorial’.

I liked the colors, the font and how the panels were organized. Great information about pinball that I didn't know before.
