I'm glad I wasn't eating or drinking when I read this. I would have redecorated the room in an instant. This stuff makes Jerry Springer look like a reputable journalist. It must be hard to sell a book when your target audience is illiterate. Maybe it comes with a free box of crayons.

I know - I am tempted to move the threads about this book to Laughs and Links.

Re: Check Raising The Devil by Mike Matusow

This is a auto/biography, right?

Look forward to your review, OP.

Re: Check Raising The Devil by Mike Matusow

Get Ready for a Wild Ride… Hang on tight as Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, poker player extraordinaire, takes you with him on a breathtaking, true-life roller coaster ride from his humble beginnings in a trailer park to a rock and roll lifestyle full of hot women, sex, wild drug-filled parties and million-dollar wins and losses. Yet behind the glamour and glory of his high-stakes poker career lurked the flip side: a person torn between two debilitating mental illnesses — bipolar disorder and ADHD. To dig himself out of depression and suicidal despair, Matusow turned to dangerous street drugs to self-medicate a problem he didn’t understand, and spiraled deeper into the darker world of addiction, police narcotic stings, and jail time. In this revealing and tumultuous autobiography, the combustible Matusow holds nothing back. You’ll get a mouthful of the man behind the infamous Matusow Meltdowns seen on national TV. Riveting, exhilarating, sexy, sometimes shocking and always fascinating, this voyeur’s look into the world of high-stakes poker, mental illness, and ultimately, Matusow’s inspiring redemption, will keep you glued to your seat until the very last page! Bio: Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, one of the top professional poker players in the world — and the most compelling — is a favorite among the millions of television viewers who have come to count on his outrageously candid comments, emotional outbursts, and constant taunts that make for great television theatre. He has over $7 million in tournament earnings, made an amazing 13 final tables at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), and won three coveted WSOP gold bracelets.


WOW>>>

Barnes & Noble will have it on the shelf on May 12th, all other stores will stock it as they receive it that same week.

Re: Check Raising The Devil by Mike Matusow

For those of you who are interested, you can read chapter one in two slightly different versions at the author's blogs at:

www.aimlesslychasing.com

http://pokershrink.blogspot.com.

Apparently the publisher made major changes to chapter one but checking the original versions at those two sites should give you a feel for the flavor of the book.
