    Best $4 that i ever have spent
  

*by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2011*

As some1 who graduated with a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from a top notch university, i can never imagine myself dropping out of school at the age 15 and live the rest of my life on the edge: betting enormous amount of money on sports, playing high stakes poker and crushing all the best players in gin.  However,  while I was reading the book, I was absolutely fascinated by the kind of life that Stu has lived.  Time after time as I was reading the book , i felt like Stu really is one of a kind, and he had plenty of rises and falls throughout his entire gambling career.  From winning the WSOP in 81,82 to the death of Richie, divorce with Madeline, the comeback kid in 97 and ultimately his own death b/c of a heart attacked caused by his outrage drug usages over the years in 98.In a sense, after reading the book, I feel a great sense of sympathy for Stu.  Obviously, he was an extremely talented card player and probably the most talented gin player that has ever lived on the planet.  Nevertheless, he also made some poor choices throughout his life: drug overdose, dropping out of school and lack of self-control.  Just imagine w/ Stu's natural talent, how much more successful Stuey would be, if he didn't have those bad habits, I bet he would have won at least another wsop if not more.  3 is already an outstanding record, if Stu could have won 4+ WSOP, he would literally put himself into his own class in the poker history.

    excellent book
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2022*

Stuey was a legend of the card games and a genius having been raised around gambling from a young age..Surprised I never heard about him all these years..The book is very well written and if u like gambling stories u will appreciate the story of 'the kid' whose life was much to short.

    Stuey was a Genius
  

*by P***W on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2018*

There is nothing not to like because coming in you are not expecting something huge like William Manchester's Biography of Churchill. The book very much keeps your interest, assuming the subject interests you.Stuey Ungar was a genius in the sense that he was practically born playing cards like Picasso was born drawing pictures or Mozart was born playing the piano. He ran afoul of drugs and was not good at managing money but these kinds of issues were the flip side of his strength, he was like a guy who always drove with his high beams on and his foot to the floor and pretty single minded, he liked to gamble. One nice line, Page 76, "Stuey wasn't a con man or a hustler; he was an assassin". Meaning that he would not throw a game and so lost out on some good money, if he paced himself more gamblers would have taken him on and he would have made more money but he couldn't pace himself. I recommend this book.
