What Customers Say About How to Cheat at Everything: A Con Man Reveals the Secrets of the Esoteric Trade of Cheating, Scams, and Hustles:

When the title read "How to Cheat at Everything", I was under the assumption that "everything" meant everything, not just street games, pool hustles and card & dice games. This book is mistitled. Not at all what I expected. The average person almost never encounters these things. There were a few passages on internet scams and chain letters, but not much else.Unless you hang around a bunch of street hustlers, this book is a waste of time.By the way, can I still return it.
Who wouldn't want to gain the oohs and aahs of friends at dinner or a bar.This book is loaded with some fantastic tricks. It's not teaching readers about ripping people off, though those stories are mixed in throughout.If you want a very unusual gift book, this is it.
THIS BOOK WAS FOUND IN THEIR POSSESSIONS. THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOR WILL ONLY GET YOU SO FAR.IN REFERENCE TO THE BOOK, ONLY A MENTALLY DISTURBED SOCIOPATH WOULD READ IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. THERE IS A COUPLE IN PHILADELPHIA,PA (SEE PHILLY.COM) THAT WAS RECENTLY BUSTED FOR FRAUD, AND IDENTITY THEFT. IT WILL ONLY GET YOU SO FAR. IF NOT PRISON, 6 FEET OF DIRT AT THE CEMETARY OF YOUR CHOICE FOR SCREWING OVER THE WRONG PERSON.SAD, BUT TRUE.
Not only is Lovell's book twice as long as it should have been, but over 90% of the material covered is so dumb and artless it would only rip off a stoned retard. Remember Lloyd and Harry in 'Dumb and Dumber' scamming that crippled blind kid with a headless dead parakeet. You'll get the picture straight away. In fact, about a third of the book is on clumsy and oafish playing card frauds that wouldn't fool your own mother.
Would be interesting if it were half as long. The cons were the most interesting; the endless variations on how to cheat at cards and dice and silly bar bets were tiring.
