nutskito 's review for:
The Hustler
by Walter Tevis
This was more fun than I initially expected :D. I had no idea The Color of Money (starring Paul Newman) had a prequel, let alone that the two movies were based on a book series!
A pretty fun and well-paced sports drama that's easy to read and doesn't bore you. I never really cared much for pool but picking this up prompted me to really look into all the different types of pool, the rules, and its extensive history. I love stories about gamblers and hustlers so despite the main character, Eddie, being a bit of a sleaze and not the most easy to root for, this was still an engaging read for me. I can’t guarantee that it will stick in my memory all that much, but it’s definitely worth it if you’re looking to get out of a reading slump or something. Give it a go!
I've already started the sequel :D.
