In her childhood, Suzanne Gardner would experience neglect from her parents that would influence her negatively in many ways she wouldn't even know. She would spend most of her time growing up seeking and feeling entitled to attention and doing what it took to get it, which involved satisfactorily fulfilling tasks she was given by her parents. She would go through life with this mentality that would greatly affect her social life, as familiarity with empathy evaded her. A Game of Intrigue by Suzanne Gardner not only details the author's struggles through this aspect of her life but also reviews her journey towards finding enlightenment and expanding her consciousness. Through the tough experiences, failed relationships, and battles with exploring her feelings, a game of intrigue is discovered.

This was an enjoyable read for me, as I found myself connecting to the author's journey through life, especially with her struggles with managing feelings and relationships with people. I liked that Suzanne Gardner was brave enough to admit that she had a problem and confront this problem by not only getting to the root cause but also applying herself to several beneficial programs that would eventually open her mind to understand the choices of consciousness. She would then embark on developing her fascinating game of feelings and emotions that readers will greatly enjoy as I did.

The vast array of lessons on offer throughout the pages of this book will also interest readers, especially those who are dealing with entitlement, arrogance, and looking to find spiritual connections in life, like me. The author's experiences in these areas are well detailed, as she encounters several teachers who would be instrumental to her development, from Neale Donald Walsch to Rhonda Britten.

While the author takes us through a few difficult moments in her life that were affected by her problem, including her divorce and the loss of a dear friend, Dick, who she could barely settle her differences with, it seemed as though she was afraid to fully relive those experiences, and this was one aspect of the book I did not like. By the end of the book, I found it difficult to ascertain exactly what went wrong between her and her ex-husband, Bob. The author's failure to provide in-depth insight into some of her experiences also spread across some parts where she achieved new levels of enlightenment. A good example revolved around the time she spent at "The inner light center," where she learned about the metaphysical and got to know about ancient practices for personal growth and transformation. While this was mentioned, I had no idea what the ancient practices were, and I was interested in this area.

Nevertheless, I will give Suzanne Gardner points for including the numerous books that were helpful to her and pointing out what parts of the books readers should look out for. I found about seven errors while reading through the book, and they did not detract from my reading experience too much. All things considered, I rate A Game of Intrigue three out of four stars. Even though more effort could have been put into presenting the details of her story, I found this book very helpful and enlightening, especially concerning understanding that human cell intelligence plays a vital role in not just health but also happiness, thus highlighting the importance of energy frequencies of the body. Readers who are interested in books that foster self-development will benefit from this book.
