Millard Lacouvy is a short, plain, fiercely independent prodigy in the male world of poker. She learns her craft in Depression-era Vancouver and then graduates to high-stakes games on the Canadian Pacific Railway. When the trains fail to satisfy either her ambition or her need for security, she goes to Bugsy Siegel’s Las Vegas. There she is haunted by the handsome conman she has known all her life, and learns that love can also be a game of chance. Along the way, Pasold gives us a rich and convincing historical portrait of Vancouver and Vegas in the ’40s.

Reseñas editoriales

Rats of Las Vegas follows young poker prodigy Millard Lacouvy as she learns her trade in Depression-era Vancouver before moving on to higher stakes games that lead her all the way to Las Vegas. Lisa Pasold's writing is full of vivid, historical detail, including scenes of dingy saloons and sleek trains that are brought to life by Donna Postel. Postel is most expert at putting the listener in Millard's shoes as she tries to assert herself as a young woman in a predominantly male world, capturing her defiantly independent attitude.

Fantastic read. Great historical background of the old Las Vegas of Buggsy Seigle and jazz-age Vancouver. I loved the main character with her amazing powers over the playing cards that guides her through her life: high stakes games on luxury trains and gambling dens in old Vancouver. Millard is such a great character and so deeply written and detailed that before you know it, it's like you know her intimately and she's a character in your own life. Her struggles to find a life in Las Vegas and her doomed romance with the handsome conman were fun and tragic and pull you through the book.

Fun historical bio/thriller

The story is slow and uninteresting. The characters are even more so. The book was seemingly written by someone who obtained all of their knowledge of poker from watching WPT. This is one long, dull cliche after another. If you’re looking for a good poker story look elsewhere. Thank you audible for your excellent return policy.

On the bright side performance was well done.

One long boring cliche
