Great Read, Well Written

This book is going to be interesting to two main kinds of people: people who are into poker, and single parents who wouldn't mind a story of inspiration. Being the former, I loved it and would recommend it to anyone.My one complaint is that the climax could have been a little more intense. The story seemed to keep developing right to the end. Regardless, the story was very interesting. Though it was written in a very conversational style, it wasn't ignorant of language like so many narratives can be. It reads like the author is sitting beside you telling the story.Support rising talent and buy a copy of Miss Levin's Bet, Raise or Fold. It's a great first effort for this author and has me looking forward to reading more.
