[.ca] Hustler Days: Minnesota Fats, Wimpy Lassiter, Jersey ... (ISBN 1592281044)

You'll be drawn in quickly:
Watching the lives of these truly American sportsmen as they intersect is a fascinating human drama. Dyer draws you deeply into their worlds and then places you alongside them on their collision course. I'm not a pool aficionado, but I found this book impossible to put down. Highly recommended.

Hustler Days:
My husband can't put this book down long enough for me to get my hands on it. He even drifts off to sleep holding it. It's amazing to me because he hasn't read a book in quite some time. I think his words were "never". He says it is extremely interesting and well written. A brand new pool table was just delivered, hum. Must be of great inspiration, a perfect Christmas gift for anyone.

Hustler Days:
In HUSTLER DAYS, R. A. "Jake" Dyer captures the turbulent lives of three lions who prowled the green felt jungle during the 1960s: Fats, Wimpy, and Red. Readers, such as myself, who play the game will feel as comfortable as if they were in their neighborhood poolroom. Readers less familiar with the game will discover it in all its varying nuances, through the colorful, yet accurate, depiction of these three anti-heroes.

Hustler Days:
I got this book as a gift and had no idea what to expect. Having no background or real knowledge about pool, I was completely delighted and mesmerized by an era of American culture I didn't even know existed. R.A. Dyer's storytelling of this time in history alowed me to be a voyeur of an age gone by; feeling the pool halls come alive with each page I read. I couldn't put the book down, needing to know what was coming next. Thank you R.A. Dyer for taking us on a rockin adventure with the likes of Fats, Red, Wimpy, and the rest of the boys!

AND WHAT A HUSTLE IT IS!:
GREAT SUBJECT. GREAT PERSONALITIES. TERRIBLE BOOK. TERRIBLE WRITING. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A GOOD IDEA FOR A BOOK GONE COMPLETLY SOUR. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
