just finished ONE OF A KIND- and boy was he reallyone of a kind- card genius- compulsive gambler-degenerate drug user- this book doesnt hold any punches from beginning to end- after finishing the last chapter i must say i felt sorry for him butalso lost respect for him- for what he did to himself- but also his friends and family. remindedme of jim morrison- a genius of another type whoabused himself much the same way that stuey did-what an f------ shame. ive changed my opinion of himas a person but i will always regard him as thegreatest all around card player ever. hope they makethe movie exactly the way the book tells the story-
