I lasted up til 37% of the book then gave up.
I tried to skim a few pages, to see if i got more interested. I did not.
Was just so damn bored.

Mischievous Machinations…
Outrageous capers, unexpected events and mischievous machinations in this nostalgic romp set in the 1970’s. A trainee croupier living a new life of freedom without a care in the world and which then takes him to the Bahamas where everything is taken up to the next level.

Bahama Boyz is a look into the 1970's world of casinos, drugs and extracurricular activities. While many things would not be allowed today, there are some items that will make some readers blush and gasp! Not all is PC for today's world.

I think the story gives a good look into the lives of everyone who worked and lived the life during that time period.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

I'm still not entirely sure what I feel for this book.
It does contain a LOT of information about the world of casinos, the training, and more. This book pertains to the 1970s mostly. Drug use, partying, heavy drinking, sex, and much more. This book is definitely lacking the political correctness that some may seek, so don't read this if you're expecting pc and proper. haha.

The writing itself was good. The book just wasn't for me. Lots of information, some good stories about characters from that time, but ultimately not my cup of tea.

Bahama Boyz
By Nick Hughes

1 stars.

I found the book slow to progress, and slow to engage.

Set in the 1970s an East End lad stumbles into the world of casinos in the Playboy Club in London. From there to the Bahamas.

The book promises much, but fails to deliver, as is meanders along a lost path.

Having been to Paradise Island several times and even meeting my husband there, I was looking forward to reading this book.
Filled with info about the world of casinos and those who work there, it was quite an eye opener. I didn't realize the training for dealers was quite so rigorous. I did realize the dealers were funloving, cheeky young men as my girlfriends and I met quite a few in the late 70's and 80's!
It's definitely not a book to read if you are insistent on everything being PC...I found most of it quite amusing though. The reason for my 3.5 rating is that it became a bit over the top, it could have done with more editing, making it a shorter story, but overall it was a likeable read if you can take some good natured fun that probably wouldn't exist as freely in these 'enlightened' days!

Tales from a carribean casino. Young makes living life to the full. Of its time set in the 1970s, so definitely not pc but true to the era. Leaving East end of London for the live life to the full, work hard and party hard. Will make you smile and roll your eyes at their antics. An easy fun read.
