CASINO (4 of 7)

Author: John Grisham
Genre: Short Story Collection
Published: Ford County: Stories, 2009
Personal Rating: 3.75/5 (better than good)
(ss) Yearly Count: 2



A local "ambitious hustler" weasels his way into building a casino with no regard for anybody, but himself. Once he becomes involved with the love of another man's life, he has a worthy opponent.

I didn't read this story all the way through from the beginning, so I lost the flow, but still found it to be interesting. Unfortunately, I didn't care for the ending so much, but it was still a good story. I'm enjoying this collection and looking forward to the remaining three.
