[Mike · Rating 2 out of 5]

Barely a book, just a bunch of anecdotes by an outraged -- OUTRAGED! I tell you -- attorney who represents gamblers (allegedly) wronged by casinos. Interesting for a bit, but it gets repetitive. An editor to fix the copious grammar mistakes and give the book a bit of direction would do wonders.
