Not the best read I have ever had, but still an education in an American sub-culture that many are not aware of. Very interesting although I found it to be a bit redundant after a few chapters. I'm glad I read it and may recommend it, depending on the person, but I probably will not read it again.

Surprisingly enjoyable read! I am not a fan of the restaurant business or horse racing or polo but this book had me from the first chapter. Unpredictable turns and great character development! I enjoyed this book very much!

One of the most delightfully strange reads I have come across. I very much enjoyed the characters and the story. I love books that make you think and still keep you enthralled. This book is "da bomb" !!!

A great story and great characters. I found the prose to be a bit lengthy to comprehend but over all, a good read.(6 of 13 readers found this comment helpful)
