A review by the_enobee
The Hustler by Walter Tevis

4.0

While not as good as the Queen's Gambit (Beth Harmon was oh so much more compelling than Eddie Felson), this still captured the same type of "experiencing the game" magic. I felt like I'd stayed up all night myself after Fast Eddie's initial encounter with Minnesota Fats in Chicago. Looking forward to reading the sequel and then watching the movies. Then on to Tevis's sci-fi books!
