Title: Not Much Meat
Review: Here's another example why books about gambling are mostly a deadly bore. This weak book either insults the intelligence of people who know something about poker or fails to present a single new idea to hold our interest. For my money there's been three books that capture what playing poker is really all about: "Biggest Game in Town," "Big Deal," and "Telling Lies and Getting Paid." Also, they're written beautifully. And I can't harldy say that about this one, which seems very amateurish at times. I'd "fold" this bore and "raise" with Alvarez, Holden, and Konik.
Is the review positive or negative?
