Fast read about a professional hockey goalie cashing in on the arrival of free enterprise in Budapest. Reads like a novel. You won't believe it.

I really enjoyed this true crime story of this Hungarian thief. It was a really fun book with some very funny anecdotes. All in all, I really liked it. I especially liked all of the Hungarian facts, too. In summary, this was an educational AND highly entertaining read.
