I have. I enjoyed it for the most part. The first 30-40 pages are pretty slow (unless you understand the game of baccarat) but after that, it picks up. You follow this guy's life and career throughout the novel. Though it covers several different sections, it ultimately covers abstract aspects. Stimulates a cogitative personality. I'd give it a B grade. Worth the penny I paid for it on Ebay.
