Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. As one would expect from Penn Jillette, this book is a wild ride. Within the first few pages there is a massive fight and everything rolls down from there.Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. First time reading this author. Description sounded interesting, intelligent, but I didn't get farther than page 37. Just not enough to keep me interested. Seemed rather juvenile and stilted writing. I am only slightly interested to find out if the main character succeeds in his goal or what he does if not. Received via LibraryThing Early Reviewers in exchange for my review. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Sadly, I did not enjoy this quite as much as God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales, or the Penn and Teller books I have.
That being said, it has it's own charm and is well written. Definitely an odd beast! Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Received as part the the Early Reviewer program. If anyone is going to write a novel about Vegas, Penn Jillette is the obvious choice. The novel is about a young man who inherits his father's gambling debt and who somehow, as time is running out, gets the money to pay the debt. I enjoyed the book and recommend it.Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This is an interim review -- I'm having a hard time getting into this book, which is a shame; I really liked _Sock_. The author doesn't seem to have much affection for his main character, which is rubbing off on me. It's a slow read and I set it down months ago. I hear it picks up later, so if I manage to slog through this first part, I'll amend this review.aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Two weeks before his twenty-first birthday, Las Vegas native Bobby Ingersoll finds out he's inherited a crushing gambling debt from his scumbag father. The debt is owed to an even scummier bag named Fraser Ruphart who oversees his bottom-rung criminal empire from the classy-adjacent Trump International Hotel. Bobby's prospects of paying off the note, which comes due the day he turns twenty-one, are about as dim as the sign on the tower's facade. The two weeks pass in the blink of a (snake) eye, but before Bobby's luck runs out, he stumbles upon enough cash to pay Ruphart off and change his family's fortune. More importantly, he finds himself with a new, for lack of a better word, faith. Bobby does not consign his big break to a 'higher power' - what Penn Jillette hero ever could? Instead, he devises and devotes himself to Random, a philosophy where his life choices are based entirely on the roll of his 'lucky' dice. What follows is a hilarious exploration into not so much what defines Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
