Book Reviews of Running the Table: The Legend of Kid Delicious, the Last Great American Pool Hustler

Book Review: A Love Story
Summary: 5 Stars

This story may be about pool, it may be about hustling, it may be about gambling, it may be about a side of life known to very few. But most of all it is a love story. Love of a game, love of a lifestyle, love of the strange relationships among thieves in the night.

The incongrous story of an insecure, bullied, "last guy you'd pick to be a pool shark" fat kid from New Jersey - that is Running The Table.

This is Rocky Balboa winning the crown. This is David beating Goliath. This is Romeo cast as Kid Delicious and Juliet as the game of pool. A wonderful book indeed.
