I am sure everyone is aware that this is the Stu Ungar story as told by Nolan Dalla with some input from Mike Sexton and others. What you may not know is that at its core the book is Stuey's autobiography. Since Stuey never had a chance to finish the autobiography, Nolan turned the story into a biography but there are large chunks of the book written from Stuey's perspective.
A good book that is easy to read.

Northey...can't you just remain anal in AG?
I liked this book...the gin rummy stories fascinated me as did all of Stuey's abilities at reading people. The call he made on Mansour with ten high usually ranks as my favorite hand of his.
