MEDIA REVIEWS
This book sees the poetry of the pool game . . . Fast Eddie's ascent up the ladder from pool shark to full-time hustler is the story of the will to power, told in cool fifties style * GUARDIAN on THE HUSTLER *
If Hemingway had the passion for pool that he had for bullfighting, his hero might have been Eddie Felson * TIME on THE HUSTLER *
A fine, swift, wanton, offbeat novel * THE NEW YORK TIMES on THE HUSTLER *
