Pool Room characters
The Pool Room really seems to enlighten it readers about many of the small insignificant inner-personal exchanges that take place between pool room regulars. It also graphically shows how big money pool matches come about. I especially liked the basic premis of the story line (excellance/perfection). I don't think I have ever seen that premis in any book I've ever read...

Religious agenda...
As a pool player of some 22 years, I purchased "The Pool Room" expecting what the blurb promised; a story of "some very unique characters that frequent a pool establishment". While the book does deliver that, albiet in a rather pedestrian writing style, the later chapters introduce a subplot of Christian conversion of one of the characters, complete with biblical verses...

Pool Room characters,
This review is from: The Pool Room (Paperback)
The Pool Room really seems to enlighten it readers about many of the small insignificant inner-personal exchanges that take place between pool room regulars. It also graphically shows how big money pool matches come about. I especially liked the basic premis of the story line (excellance/perfection). I don't think I have ever seen that premis in any book I've ever read before.
Being a tournament pool player myself, I really enjoyed this book and plan to recommend it to all of my pool playing friends.

This review is from: The Pool Room (Paperback)
As a pool player of some 22 years, I purchased "The Pool Room" expecting what the blurb promised; a story of "some very unique characters that frequent a pool establishment". While the book does deliver that, albiet in a rather pedestrian writing style, the later chapters introduce a subplot of Christian conversion of one of the characters, complete with biblical verses. As this was not what I was looking for, I was less than thrilled with the purchase.
If you like your fiction to have an insirational message, give "The Pool Room" a try, by all means. If, however, you just want to read about pool, I would recomend David McCumber's "Playing Off the Rail" as a better choice. |
