Recensione:
“[A] fan of the first magnitude...[Richler] has given us the most interesting and thought-provoking book on snooker ever written.... On Snooker is essential reading.” -- Pool & Billiard Magazine
“On Snooker conveys both a sportswriter’s sensibility and a kind of wide-eyed enthusiasm for the game, tempered by Richler’s skewered wit and occasional broadside against the forces of banality, stupidity and political correctness.” -- The Hamilton Spectator
“On Snooker is pure joy.” -- The Chronicle Herald
"Unlike snooker and baseball, a perfect book is probably a mug’s dream. But On Snooker comes very close.” -- The Edmonton Journal
“On Snooker is vintage Richler.” -- The Globe and Mail
“As with John Updike on golf and Norman Mailer on boxing, so Richler on snooker.” -- The Observer
