I play some pool myself, and am somewhat immersed in the subculture. For me, the book was a lot of fun, very accurate in its portrayal of pool halls and the gambling therein. I enjoyed reading all of Delicious' crazy exploits and his teaming with Bristol Bob.

Reading this book has inspired me to move onto the Danny Diliberto Story, by Jerry Forsyth. I'm hoping to see Delicious back out there on tour soon -- he is a true character.]]>
