Negative Positive
Title: Balogney
Review: This is an incredible ego stroke for the author and his friends. The gaming action, the description of casino security and other anecdotal evidence points to a juvenile thriller in the making. The best part of the book is the description of the noodle heads getting the living crap kicked out of them by a couple of goons sent to the Caribean by the evil empire of casino owners. I've never wanted the "hero" to take a fall so badly in my life, and I love beating casinos for big wins. I'm just guessing, but somewhere between 10 and 50% of this book never happened, and the stuff that did happen is fairly boring. Don't doubt that card counting works, but do question how a tribe of skinny dweebs from a math college got past the Vegas casinos systems for so much cash. Pure drivel.
Is the review positive or negative?
