'Viimeinen ottelu (The Game)' Summary
Jack Robertson, menestynyt ammattilaisnyrkkeilijä, on ajautunut alas päihteiden ja rahapelaamisen syövereihin. Hänen uransa on raunioina, ja hän on menettänyt perheensä ja lähes kaiken muunkin. Robertsonia houkuttelee viimeinen ottelu, joka voi palauttaa hänelle kaiken. Hän ottaa riskin ja tekee sopimuksen ottelusta, joka vastustaa kaikkia hänen arvojaan. Ottelu johtaa Robertsonia kohti pelottavaa kohtaloa, jossa hänen on taisteltava paitsi vastustajaansa vastaan, myös omaa itseään vastaan. Hän kamppailee alkoholismia ja pelaamista vastaan, samalla yrittäen löytää itsensä ja rakentaa uutta elämää. ”Viimeinen ottelu” on karu ja realistista kuvaus nyrkkeilyn maailmasta ja ihmisen kamppailusta omia demonejaan vastaan. Se on tarina toivosta, epätoivosta, taisteluista ja lopulta itsensä löytämisestä.Book Details
