InBecoming Bobby, Michael Konik's debut novel, the best-selling author of three acclaimed gambling-story collections, includingThe Man with the $100,000 Breasts, brings his vast knowledge of the casino world--and the desperate and delusional characters who inhabit it--to the pages of a story that is by turns viciously funny and disturbingly provocative. The dark chronicle of one man's cataclysmic descent into mid-life crisis, a contemporary Humbert Humbert, inspired by his TV hero, impulsively trades his middle-aged, cul de sac-of-an-existence for the fantasy life of a Vegas-style high roller. But when his luck runs out, the obsessive quest to "be like Bobby" brings some dark and twisted implications. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Bobby's overwhelming character flaws might not make the book so bad, if it focused on anything, anything at all, that wasn't Bobby's greed or his delusional ramblings. But it's hard to like a book that focuses completely on such a terrible person. I just can't like a book like this one with such an unsympathetic character as Bobby.
I got this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. ( )
