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

Book Review: Great Fun
Summary: 5 Stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A great look at a shady and mostly unseen slice of Americana. It is also an interesting character study of Danny, a fun loving unmotivated overweight kid who recognized he had a rare talent for succeeding in the dubious world of pool hustlers and went for it. I recommend this book highly.
