A review by paulataua
The Hustler by Walter Tevis

4.0

“Fast” Eddie Felson, a young up and coming pool hustler, travels from California to Chicago to take on Minnesota Fats, the best player in the country. The novel took me into the pool halls and the world of hustling with its ups and downs, and even though I have no interest and little knowledge of pool, I was hooked right from the opening pages until the final twist. Loved it.
