• Eye Opening Easy Read
23 August, 2007
A number of Vignettes highlighting actual accounts of people becoming embroiled in the "hell" of pathological gambling. This is a well written, inexpensive, and easy read. I believe it is useful as an introduction to the topic.
With the explosion of Casinos all over America we are seeing an equally proportionate rate of ruined lives related to gambling. The suicide rate among problem gamblers is extraordinarily high. It is most important for healthcare professionals, both in addiction and general medicine, to become familiar with this problem and screen patients for potential gambling addiction. This book was part of my curriculum as an addictions counselor in the state of New York.
Another excellent book on this topic is 'Born to Lose' by Bill Lee, who also wrote the book inspiring the movie 'Chinatown'.

• Horrific Editing
13 November, 2009
This book is riddled with typos, missing words, and even missing sentences. I managed to get through about 30% of the book, but finally could not stand it any longer. The book title is actually very apropos - it describes perfectly what reading the book is like. There are numerous other options out there which are much better on every level, including Behind the 8-Ball and Born to Lose. Don't waste your money on this one!
