Gambler - The Original Classic Edition

I loved this book. Im not sure that any book entitled Gambling Psychology would include a better profile of the psychopathology that is gambling addiction. The main characters massochism is also a wonderful case study of how such personalities operate and function. The plot is excellent and granny is so perfectly described that its as if the author included a photograph of her. Much of the Russian psyche is on display and the reader will get a glimpse into people and lifestyles that are quite in keeping with what one might find today in our own Roulettenberg, Las Vegas. This was a concise but pleasant ride through human nature.
