Title: Pales in Comparison
Review: I don't get the fuss about Poker Nation. Like many poker books this latest one by someone who apparently has never written anything before is Okay at best. I found the writing very crude in spots. To compare this half-baked collection of Bellin's recollections of "characters he has known" to true poker masterpieces like "Big Deal" and "Telling Lies and Getting Paid" is an insult. That's why poker's a great game I guess... Ithink people who have never read about poker might think this book is fascinating and edgy. Everyone else will probably wonder what people see in this. After reading this... narrative I know I personally appreciate the couple of well-written poker books that are still in print and in my library.
Is the review positive or negative?
