4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the movie, July 14, 2001
This review is from: Rounders: A Novel (Paperback)
I was surprised to discover there was a "novelization" of the movie. I really enjoyed it, and it was by far the best novelization I have ever read -- not that I've read many. (I only picked this up because I like reading books about poker.) But this is a serious literary book that just puts the movie into words, and in doing so, I though made the movie and the charcaters much fuller. I only give four stars because it is not an origional story.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless, May 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Rounders: A Novel (Paperback)
I very much enjoyed the movie "Rounders". So much in fact that I thought I'd grab a copy of the book written from the screenplay. I was very disappointed. The book adds nothing to the movie. With the exception of the first chapter, the author seems to have simply cut and pasted the dialogue from the screenplay. There is nothing here that is not in the movie. See the movie and don't waste your money on the book. According the back of the book, Kevin Canty has written other books that are quite good. He must be quite embarrassed to have his name attached to this one.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rounders: A Novel (Paperback)
I enjoy the movie, but since the book follows 95% of the movie dialog I found the book a let down. A couple things it did clear up from garbled movie dialog and Mike's previous involvement with Petra, but not worth the purchase. Apparent error on p.182-183, a nit really, author confuses Jacks-full (JJJ-66) with Jacks-up (JJ-66).
