"An intoxicating cocktail"

A review from Amazon.com:

I'm not a big gambler but I've felt that edge - that tilt - when I've been in friendly games of poker and low stakes blackjack at the casinos. Life on Tilt lets that fantasy ride for guys like me who haven't gone over to the other side but can imagine the temptations. I thought it was great how Blowers' narrator leads you through his double life, business-man / family-man - high stakes poker player. You see the risks he takes, even more so away from the table, and you can relate to the chase of the glitz. I loved the humor, the tension, the intoxication of that self-awareness / self-destruction cocktail, and ultimately the almost 40s film noir sense of fateful doom. What more can you want in a cautionary tale that beckons you to go to hell anyway?
