whats your take on the ending of THE HUSTLER the book

rare instances where the films destroy the books

people often speculated that Tevis needed to thank Rudolph Wanderone....that's incorrect, he needed to thank Paul Newman
 
Eddie loved Sarah, the Piper Laurie character who died of the drug overdose. Bert supplied her. No way does Eddie have anything to do with Bert.

I'll explain further about Sarah's limp, a time honored literary device, which signified her addiction which was a parallel of Eddie's addiction to pool, maybe tomorrow, if I have time.
