***MY HONEST REVIEW OF WILD GAME***
Mitchell was top dog in the world of high stakes sport
gambling. His business created and used an algorithm program that consistently
gave winning odds. The deep, dark secret though, was that Mitchell was running
a con of fixing professional sports outcomes. But just when he thinks he is
invincible, he gets word of unexpected betrayal from a friend. This puts him in
the crosshairs of the federal government. Knowing he is being investigated, he
tries to cover his tracks. But as one thing gets taken care of, two more
emerges. Will Mitchell be able to plug the holes and stay on top, or will each
betrayal bring him closer to prison?
In the beginning, going back and forth with so many
characters involved and their geographical locations, it was confusing. I
started out hating that this book was so long, but in the end loving that it
took the time to really capture all the layers of each participant involved. I
hate to say it, but I was rooting for Mitchell and his gang. At least most of
them. I liked that the author depicted the lawyers and public agents as being
greedier con artists than the bad guys. It was interesting to see the inner
workings of both sides.
