can I say It's a pageturner! And full of unabashed offensiveness, like "Oh shit, look at this, just what I needed, an Asian dealer.
"
Rife with comma splices, derogatory language chinks, wops, whores, fags, etc, and glaring doublestandards, it's the kind of story only a white dude who hit the uppermiddle class in the's and's could tell without stopping for a single breath or to ask if you need a break from his bullshit to go to the bathroom.
Presented as fiction with casino names changed, etc, but it's notstep anonymity amp forever nonprofessional stuff and maybe because of that he slips in some unbelievably great stories of crooks and mobsters.
But don't worry,step haters he doesn't even mention Gam Anon until the very very end, and he never buys into it in the book.
If you've ever been to a speaker's meeting, though, this guy is like a lot of classic dudes you've heard.
You groan at their sense of entitlement, crazyass egos and lack of politicalcorrectness, but they tell stories better than
almost anyone.
It's interesting to google this guy and see how much of an anticasino and apparently antistripper and whoknowswhatelse activist he is part of what is interesting to me personally about him and this book is seeing how an author and activist andstepper balances and presents.
Anyway, the book is totally entertaining and full of tension and excitement, I kind of wish there were enough books like this to make a whole genre like Harlequin Romance: Casinos and Corvettes but for men and without much romance, just lots of getting rich then poor then rich then poor because I'd read them UP! Please let me know in comments if there ARE lots of books like this and if so, where I can find them.
This was a petty engaging auto biography of an addicted, high roller in Atlantic city, it's entertaining, and provides a good insight into the industry, but the book still lack a lot, The author is a poor writer, and the story has no resolution, There were so many time while reading that I just couldn't believe his actions, and the story certainly ropes you into his ups and downs.
I wouldn't be surprised to see this as a movie version in the coming years,
In the end, the book lacks a lot but still has enough to keep the pages turning.
