Der Schreibstil ist sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig und erfordert eine gewisse Konzentration. Inhaltlich bewegt sich "Der Spieler" zwischen skurriler Geschichte, trauriger Wirklichkeit der Spielsucht und den verkorksten zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen der Charaktere. Phasenweise zieht sich die Geschichte für meinen Geschmack zu sehr, was durch den Schreibstil verstärkt wird, an anderer Stelle ist das Buch aber auch interessant zu lesen und hat mich stellenweise gepackt. Ich bin etwas zwiegespalten, wie ich das Buch einordnen soll, daher die drei Sterne. Wer in die russische Literatur hineinschnuppern möchte, dem kann ich das Buch auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Gut möglich, dass ich es zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt noch einmal lesen werde.
