Full Details

• See a fascinating picture unfold in your mind
• Read Gordon's secret tragedies
• Find yourself in fits of laughter

A wonderful biography of the undisputed king of celebrity chefs.

Neil Simpson paints a fascinating picture of the man in full, and uncovers the secret tragedies that turned Gordon Ramsay into one of the most driven, successful and angry men in Britain.

The book details: the violent, alcoholic, absent father who died just days after the pair had been reconciled as adults; the best-friend and protege whose bizarre suicide came hours after the two had shared a final meal; the decade-long battle to save his younger brother from heroin addiction and crime; and, the real reason why Gordon wasn't at the birth of any of his four children - and has never changed a nappy in his life.

Sometimes hilarious and frequently heart-breaking, Gordon Ramsay's life story runs from the council estates of Glasgow and the picture post-card countryside of Stratford-upon-Avon to some of the finest and most expensive restaurants in the world.

This is an incredible, inspiring story.

This little book is just a title and empty space.

It's a complete and utter waste of time and money. Don't bother wasting either.

There is nothing of substance in this book that any decent online poker player shouldn't already know.

This is a fabulous and very well written book about online poker, and some of the information presented in it would be very useful if playing in live games and tournaments as well.
The writer obviously knows his subject very well and has a formidable reputation himself playing both online and live in competitions.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone contemplating or already playing poker online, and as said before a lot of the information in this book would be useful for live play as well.
The pot odds and maths section are very useful indeed.
A great value buy.

I couldn't put the book down! Reading about the real Gordon Ramsay, I was very much impressed. Mr. Ramsay is a very intelligent and wonderful person, and I have very much respect for him

This book is a decent option for a beginner book on online hold 'em, compared to some of the ridiculously outpriced poker books out there. The book has some very important lessons on hand odds and pot odds (which isn't specialized to online play). There's also a good deal of fluff to this book. The beginning is some worthless junk about "online poker pros" which will only make you think you can now go take on huge multi-table tournaments with ease, and some legal "fluff" and a beginner's dictionary. All in all, its not a bad book to start your online reading, but don't expect to get too much out of it as it will most likely only take you a few hours to read.

80% of this book talks about hold-em odds, including pot odds, implied odds and basic percentages. While the tables are very easy to read and understand, it is somewhat basic. The content at times is watered down, but for the most part the facts Nigel presents are straight forward and to the point.

Now for the down side of the book, the first 20 pages or so talk about "great" poker players whom most of us have never heard of (from across the big pond). Also, I'd say 10% of this book really deals with online strategies, but it did enlighten me a bit in that area.

I read the book from cover to cover in less than 3 hours. THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR ADVANCED PLAYERS, but for beginners.

All in all, its a decent book for the price.

If I were asked to write a book about online poker I don't know where I would begin!

This author has grasped the subject very well indeed. The book is truly excellent, and there is plenty of useful advice and information for players at all levels.

I especially found the odds section extermely handy, and realised that I have never comprehended this aspect of the game properly.

A great book. Worth buying. Highly recommended
