One To A Million by Tim ColeWell I gotta say I didn't expect much from a book about gambling since I don't gamble. But I did read the whole thing and actually it wasn't bad. I found I really liked the characters and found myself routing for the big wins. Some of the parts where it got into the poker playing lingo I was a little lost but still followed the story without too much trouble. (I don't know how to play poker) note* I'm not sure why but the last chapter was a repeat of the chapter before it, maybe just a mistake in the ebook. I'm not sure I would recommend the book to anyone I know personally but if you like poker or gambling and think you may like to turn one to a million, this may just be the book for you! Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I was surprised by how quickly I got into this book despite its unlikely themes of gambling, drinking and male bonding. The characters, however, are endearing and unpretentious, making the read a thoroughly enjoyable one. There are definitely tacky bits: the extravagant Texan friend, the instant romance and the unbelievable series of wins give the book a bit of a superficial gloss to this way-too feel good book, but it's easy to overlook and to go with flow with the story which is the male penchant of chick lit.Finally, I liked the descriptions of the poker games - the technical terms (for a complete novice like me) gave the competition scenes a bit of depth and real glitz, to what would otherwise be less than glamorous, as the author himself admits! A fun and original read. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This author may be a nom de plume, for another Library Thing author. Another book I enjoyed. Based on a low-to-middle class household, the characters are liked and easy to relate to. A nickel and dime so to speak existence. Given this beginning, the title serves the book well as gambling takes over as a pursuit to riches, taking the chance to win a fortune playing cards, specifically Texas Hold 'Em. After studying the WSOP, a popular franchise, and reading books, Charlie embarks on a journey to win a million, during the Las Vegas tournament of WSOP. A rather rudimentary start for such a professional business, so I believe, it is more fantasy than reality. Even after success at poker, they venture off for a one-in-a-million challenge in a Vegas boxing ring. Fate has it and Charlie is rewarded with a successful bet, and wins the entitle purse/prize, along with securing a future wife, all in one trip. A fun read, I myself, am not a gambler, so I appreciate the lightness to the amount and influence money has. Thank you to the author. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Charlie Spinner has just been dumped by his trophy girlfriend, so to soothe the pain of rejection he embarks upon a night out with his two best friends, Ed (aka Nadz) and Fat Dave. Lamenting the dullness of their lives - grab bag relationships (or lack thereof), go-nowhere jobs, and of course ever-present money woes, Fat Dave wonders whimsically if it might be possible to turn a single one-pound coin into a million pounds. Playing along with his friend's fantasy, Charlie deposits the change from a round of beers - one pound - into a slot machine and wins the one thousand-pound jackpot. But can Charlie rise to Fat Dave's challenge to turn a one pound coin into one million pounds? Or is there an even greater prize waiting for him on the Las Vegas Strip? You make the odds...
