About this listen

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY AARON SORKIN, AND STARRING JESSICA CHASTAIN, IDRIS ELBA, KEVIN COSTNER AND MICHAEL CERA

The true story of the 26-year-old woman behind the most exclusive, high-stakes underground poker game in the world

When Molly Bloom was a little girl in a small Colorado town, she dreamed of a life without rules and limits, a life where she didn’t have to measure up to anyone or anything – where she could become whatever she wanted.

She ultimately got more than she ever could have bargained for.

In Molly’s Game, she takes you through her adventures running an exclusive private poker game catering to Hollywood royalty like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck, athletes, billionaires, politicians and financial titans. With rich detail, Molly describes a world of glamour, privilege and secrecy in which she made millions, lived the high life and fearlessly took on the Russian and Italian mobs – until she met the
one adversary she could not outsmart: the United
States government.

Critic Reviews

‘It isn't often you come across a story that is both cool and has a lot of heart, and this one does’ Aaron Sorkin

‘Dishes on the covert world of underground gambling and reveals how celebs and billionaires really behave on their downtime behind closed doors’ New York Post

‘I'm reading Molly Bloom's almost unbelievable memoir of her days running one of the world's most exclusive poker games. The amounts of money are obscene, the stakes are high, the characters are slime balls… and it's all true’ The Pool

Enjoyed the book and performance, but there were a couple of holes in the storyline, such as the disappearing father, no reaction from Molly’s family about the charges against her, her drug use, and the more specific charges to which she pleaded guilty and those that were dropped and under what circumstances they were dropped. Other than that, highly recommend the book.

Great story, but not the whole story.

Molly is not a character you willl fallin love with but she is interesting. Cassandra Campbell does a great reading, adding depth and feeling to the story. The author talks about how in love she felt with a number of her boyfriends, but it just seems like words. Maybe these descriptions are circumspect to protect her own privacy. This seems strange however considering all the other details she goes into. It is still worth a listen if you plan on seeing the movie.

She is ballsy if a little naive

Loved every minute of it. The fast pace of her life, the insights into the world of high class poker & the billionaires who inhabit it. The narration was also easy on the ear.
I was enthralled the whole time

Fascinating from start to finish
