Summary: Huster Days Review
Review: As a Middle School teacher, pool is not a topic I find particularly interesting. However, I became so wrapped up in the personalities of the characters I hated for the book to end! This is a must read as it provides insight into a period of time in American culture. As the holidays approach, Hustler Days by R.A. Dyer will certainly be at the top of my gift list for the men and sports lovers in my family!

GREAT PERSONALITIES.
TERRIBLE BOOK.
TERRIBLE WRITING.

Review: I got this book as a gift and had no idea what to expect. Having no background or real knowledge about pool, I was completely delighted and mesmerized by an era of American culture I didn't even know existed. R.A. Dyer's storytelling of this time in history alowed me to be a voyeur of an age gone by; feeling the pool halls come alive with each page I read. I couldn't put the book down, needing to know what was coming next. Thank you R.A. Dyer for taking us on a rockin adventure with the likes of Fats, Red, Wimpy, and the rest of the boys!

Review: I was absolutely fascinated by this book , I expect to see a movie with these characters to come in the future. John Goodman
as "Fats"? As a child of 12 I used to hang out at the local pool hall and watch guys who were inferior players to the likes
of R.A. Dyer's heroes grind it out for a few measly bucks a game.
This book accurately depicts how serious these guys were about
winning and being the best. This book took me back to my coming of age and answered a lot of questions I had about pool hustling
that I had been curious about for the last 30 years. You don't have to play the game to enjoy this dramatic telling of the golden age of pool hustling and that is the highest compliment any piece of literature can receive. Time to get the Meucci out
of the case again!

Review: In HUSTLER DAYS, R. A. "Jake" Dyer captures the turbulent lives of three lions who prowled the green felt jungle during the 1960s: Fats, Wimpy, and Red. Readers, such as myself, who play the game will feel as comfortable as if they were in their neighborhood poolroom. Readers less familiar with the game will discover it in all its varying nuances, through the colorful, yet accurate, depiction of these three anti-heroes.

Review: My husband can't put this book down long enough for me to get my hands on it. He even drifts off to sleep holding it. It's amazing to me because he hasn't read a book in quite some time. I think his words were "never". He says it is extremely interesting and well written. A brand new pool table was just delivered, hum. Must be of great inspiration, a perfect Christmas gift for anyone.
