Not really my favourite - I felt it was very slow, mind numbingly slow - it took me ages to get through for that reason. It picked up the last day and got more exciting, but still, could not make up for the 9 days prior. It was interesting in ways, gambling is fun to read about sometimes and Levi was a great read - I didnt mind Enne most of the time though the denial was a bit much.

Small story, small setting, gambling and some mystical realism in a down-to-earth story.
Very few characters. Set in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. It's about gambling and math and cheating, and winning and losing at life and relationships. The writing is simple and stunning. The characters are few and very well-developed, quickly and slowly at the same time, without a lot of fanfare. There's a touch of mystery.

It's a "small" book, as I like to call them. Kind of like Nicholson Baker's writing. Focused.


Read it in two sittings--started one evening and finished over breakfast. Wish I had savored it more. Have already sent copies to at least seven people. Don't bother with the blurb on the back--doesn't do it much justice for what's really between the covers. Also, the paperback is a joy to hold. Even if you're a fan of eReaders, I recommend buying the real deal for this one.

Great Read
I haven't read any other books like this. The world is very unique, and is centered around gambling. The story is told in alternating perspective which is great because Levi and Enne come from such different backgrounds. They are not always honest with each other, but the reader still knows the truth about everything that is going on. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Enne's character develops in the second book, and if her relationship with Levi will continue to grow.

New found addiction
Whoever hasn't seen the advert for this game is very lucky and probably rare. Eventually those have had seen it probably went and downloaded it and to be fair it has that connection of I guess action play as well as free gambling with the slot machines. Whilst it lacks communication with other players I definitely consider it a decent game.
