Revue de presse :
"A fascinating, cautionary tale." -- Chicago Tribune
"Reader beware the seductive blue flame. To illuminate the triumphant yet scorchingly hideous forty-five years Stuey Ungar spent among us, Dalla and Alson have produced an acetylene torch of a book. There was no other way to write a story like this. One of a Kind is a lesson in no-limit hold'em as well as a terrifying pleasure." -- James McManus, author of Positively Fifth Street
"A standout among this year's bumper crop of poker books." -- New York magazine
