Query: I hated the author's sense of humor

I was really looking forward to reading this book. However, the author's attempts at making witty jokes throughout the novel really grow old. There's a couple on every page, and they're not good. Even the stories he had to write weren't exactly gripping.I much prefer the dated "Ken Uston on Blackjack" if you want to read about high-stakes, professional Blackjack play.
