THIS IS A GREAT BOOK AND IS WRITTEN ABOUT MY SON KID DELICIOUS. IT HAS ALL TRUE STORIES.
MY UNCLE,WHO LIVES IN CALIFORNIA AND IS 80 YEARS OLD, AFTER I SENT HIM AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY,ASKED ME IF ALL THE STORIES WERE TRUE IN THE BOOK. HE COULDN'T BELEIVE IT EITHER
DANNY HAD A HARD TIME IN HIGH SCHOOL. WE MOVED TO CENTRAL JERSEY BECAUSE NO ONE WAS SPEAKING ENGLISH IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WE LIVED IN BROOKLYN. IT WAS NEAR MADISON HIGH SCHOOL. OCEAN AVE. AND KINGS HIGHWAY. SO WE DECIDED TO MOVE TO MANALAPAN N.J.
DANNY WAS OK IN JHS , BUT HE HAD SOME TROUBLE AS SOON AS HE WENT TO H.S. THE STAFF COULDN'T HELP HIM ADJUST. SO HE HAD TO QUIT SCHOOL. ELITE BILLIARDS MADE HIM HAPPY. I DON'T WANT TO RAMBLE ON TOO MUCH, BUT DANNY JUST PLAYED POOL AS MUCH AS HE COULD AND HIS DEPRESSION DISAPPEARED. IF YOU WANT A POOL LESSON OR IF YOU WANT TO HAVE KID DELICIOUS PLAY AT YOUR BAR MTZVAH YOU CAN FIND OUT CONTACT INFORMATION IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK
LIONS GATE STUDIOS IS REWRITING THE SCRIPT AND HOPEFULLY THE MOVIE WILL BE MADE BY JUNE 20008.

Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our Running the Table neat book could be a great movie
) Nice interesting read about a unique character. Kid is a huge talent in more ways than one. Book takes us around the country on the hustling trail. Also deals with the demons that the Kid has had to deal with.
Too bad the book is short, would liked to have read about more stories and hustles.
