It was really interesting reading about a pool master I love the idea of a woman being a master in a male dominated world. I love playing pool but obviously no where near as good as this woman. Also hearing about her beginning to now I love biography style books

Like many others, I first became aware of Jeanette Lee, the Black Widow, when she was a fixture on ESPN. I also saw her a couple times at Tampa Bay Rays fan fest. There she demonstrated trick shots and took on all challengers—fans and Rays players alike. I was pleased that an advance copy of Jeanette’s book was available from Net Galley and Dutton Books.

This is one of the most inspirational books I have read. Jeanette tells of her life facing and overcoming so many obstacles especially health-related. This is a story of incredible perseverance and faith that drove Jeanette to become the world famous Black Widow and the #1 ranked pool player.

I can’t say enough about this book. I won’t list all the challenges and obstacles. That’s for the reader to discover. I hope this book is a bestseller upon release. And I hope that Jeanette enjoys many more years to celebrate her success.

Thanks to Net Galley and Dutton Books for providing an advance copy.
