Hey, I am
Roger Mini. You probably know me from the famous Tetris Movie. You can also
read the book if you haven’t already. It’s translated into 56 different
languages such as Spanish, English and much more. Last Saturday it
was released in Swedish as well. The book is a comparison of the Great Game
Tetris and The Great War. Even Barack Obama enjoy this great book. “This book
looks great in my bookshelf here in the White House” he said. This book fits
everyone even though you don’t know what Tetris is. Catholic, Democrat,
Buddhist, Protestant or Hindu, we can all read this book. So, if you want to
know more about me and less about my awesome book come meet me at my place.
Don’t forget to buy the Great Tetris book, available in stores now.
