[John Marr · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't play bridge. The bulk of this book is devoted to blow-by-blow descriptions of various bridge tournaments which to me are incomprehensible. There is not nearly enough of the sleazy atmosphere I was looking for. Despite all this, I found the book oddly compelling.

[Prubo · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of the better bridge autobiographies. Entertaining look at the world of the bridge professional in the mid-seventies when the author was at the top of his game.

Fantastic book. Loved it. Bridge Bum and Zia's Bridge My Way are both easily 5 stars.
