Molly Bloom grows up in her brothers shadows striving to make their dad proud. However, when Molly gets injured she has to contemplate a new career path, one that will have her blurring the lines of the law. Bloom is an incredibly talented and clever woman. Her downfall seems to have been that she trusts too easily, whether that borders on greed remains to be decided by the reader. This was another 5 star read for me as I find the story fascinating and it was perfectly short at 259 pages.

Good, but not overly engaging. Tobey Maguire seems like a real jerk.

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).
