A complete waste of time., Dec 9 2003

If you are interested in improving your poker game, then do not get this book!

Entertaining book, Dec 8 2003

He will kill the targets at all costs... unless he can be stopped.

The book is a fast paced novel that sucks you in and keeps you there. Deaver works in lots… Read more
