5.0 out of 5 stars Before you go to Vegas, May 8, 2005

This review is from: The Palace (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is for those who love life and want to learn how to enjoy it. It does not teach you how to make money, but it sure tells you how to spend it. This book is a must read for those who wish to go to Las Vegas or Atlantic City. I have read it number of times over the years it has been in my possession. This book is in the same class as 'Oil' by Jonathan Black. I wish they make a movie based on this book with Danny DeVito in the lead role.

Paul Erdman wrote several good books about the financial system in the 70's and 80's. The Palace has always been my favorite book of his, with multiple plot twists. It is a timeless story and a lot of fun to read, the background in financial industry makes his look at vegas and casino finance fascinating.

What can I saw. My title says it all. If you want a no brainer, shallow thriller to fill your empty time so you don't have to think, then this is your book. It's a quick and entertaining read like a James Bond movie and you don't have to strain your brain to figure out who the characters are because they are just names.
