Critics Review
- A book so rich in detail, so full of laughter, that you feel as if the coolest member of your family has just let you in on a secret so delicious you will savour it for ever The Times * Vivid … Unflinchingly honest … A compulsive read which may well leave you reaching for a pack of cards Elle * Superb Guardian * Fresh, funny and moving. Coren writes insightfully about love, obsession, depression and illness - and poker, obviously. This is a wonderful book, worthy of comparison with the best Literary Review * [An] honest, funny, highly personal and nostalgic memoir about friendship and belonging Financial Times * Absorbing Daily Telegraph * Vicky Coren…is funny, beautiful, clever and writes like an angel. The Lady Magazine * Not only the best book about poker you are ever likely to read, but an outstanding memoir, lucid and moving, at times laugh-out-loud funny, at times heartbreaking, never less than gripping and, quite simply, the best book I have read this year. – Cary Gee Tribune
