Not the most superb writing I've ever read, in fact at times I felt like I was reading something written by a teenager.

I like that this book read almost like fiction and that is what kept me going right to the very end. I learned a lot about the underground cut throat world of high stakes poker.

I would enjoy reading a book from the agents who eventually took down this ring and read what they went through to take this group down.

Just saw the movie this afternoon with the Jessica Chastain (and saw Miss Sloane with her a week before) on Blu-ray. Great, but I would have liked more extras and more insight into Poker.
So I know what to expect and hope to read this fast. Also I bought the Audio-Book, so maybe I will listen to it, also (Kindle-Audible deal tends to be rather cheap for a lot of audiobooks, but I am reading on a Tolino expose, so no Whispersync for me).

Read via audiobook ! Not as good as the movie, but it might be because the lady that read it sounded too sweet. Can't wait to watch the movie again.

A quick and fun read. I picked up on the day it came out and blew through it in two days. I just kept turning pages as Molly's journey into the world of underground poker spun out of control. When deep-seeded insecurities meet high-level overachieving meets a town where you make your own opportunities, it's easy to see how Molly ended up with the Feds on her tail. An entertaining true-life story that reads almost like fiction, I wouldn't be surprised to see this one come to the big screen in the next ten years... no matter how Tobey Maguire might feel about that.
