Fun While It Lasted is the whirlwind story of Bruce McNall's life as a player in a seemingly endless number of high-stakes games.
McNall was the toast of Los Angeles, partaking of glamorous Hollywood and sports world parties, and living the life of a celebrity. Eventually, however, he had to borrow huge amounts to keep his various businesses going, and ultimately his empire collapsed amid charges of fraud and deception.
Here is the tale of McNall's relationship with Wayne Gretsky and how he convinced "The Great One" to leave the Edmonton Oilers to play for his Kings..."
McNall's memoir is a compelling, fascinating book about life at the top - what it's like to have one's most carefully laid schemes come crashing down, and how hard and fast one can fall. |
