I have read over 20 different poker books and this one was probably the most enjoyable to read for the sake of reading, rather than for the specific poker strategies. I would agree that just about anyone, player or not, would enjoy this book.

Barry is obviously not a professional writer as his thoughts sometimes seem a little disorganized and he drifts off to tangents while telling his stories. However, his stories are so entertaining that I didn't mind.

Additionally, as I read this book I found myself thinking that this may be the genuinely nicest guy in the game and I would love to play at the same table with him sometime.
