The Color of Money

The detailed portrayal of the game and the characters' struggles felt so authentic. I'm curious whether Tevis had personal experience or did extensive research for this depiction.

His ambition drives him forward, but at what cost? I wonder if this internal conflict was intentional to make us think about the nature of success.

The characters exhibit both toughness and fragility, which feels very layered. I’m curious how modern readers interpret these aspects compared to when it was first published.
