I just read the first part of the best pool book EVER

[LynnStratton]

[FONT="Comic Sans[COLOR="Navy"][/COLOR] I had to repeat my comment about pool books and stories after reading the first five chapters of Bobby Cotton's first book. Despite the fact that I happen to appear, it's just what you look for when you want to learn about how the road really is--and how the lifestyle really is, no holds barred. This is his life, in his own words, and it's wonderful. I can't wait for the rest of the book and I hope everyone who has an interest in pool reads this. You gotta love it--the characters, the situations, the self-knowledges he gains as he goes through life. I found it wonderful, insightful and at times, downright scary. MS"][/FONT]

I can't help but write after reading some of these comments about pool books on this site. Bobby Cotton sent me the first five chapters of his book and I can't believe how I got caught up in it. I could NOT stop reading. I remember so many of the people he talks about from the Chicago area and there are other parts where he describes situations he found himself in that made me wonder how he's still alive today! I was on the road a few times with players of lesser renown than Bobby and it was no picnic, but it was always interesting, sometimes funny and sometimes scary--just like this book. Reading those chapters made me want to read the rest of the book and I can't WAIT to keep on. It's exciting and funny--I was laughing out loud--and I'm really glad he wrote it because it needed to be done. If you get a chance, pick it up when it comes out and if you're like me, you'll get a kick out of remembering people in the book and remembering some of the action. Big time fun reading.
