4.0
The writing about gambling is really good - there's a certain clarity that really shines at times. There are a few other things going on here: the brothers confront the applicability of the teachings of their strong-willed father in their grown up lives, react to the death of their parents, and briefly explore the ennui of being middle class intellectuals without children. There's also the story of their court case, which has lots if potential, but gets abruptly dropped at the end, which is a bummer. All in all I still recommend this book. It's a quick, fun read.
