Synopsis and Additional Facts: Hungarians loved Attila Ambrus; from Rubinstein’s appealing biography, it's easy to see why. Rubinstein tells the story of this goalie-gone-bad with style and wit. He also maintains a historian's impartiality, however, supported by a wealth of meticulous research. One reviewer complained that Rubinstein glossed over the misery of life in 1990s Hungary, but this was his only criticism of an engaging and informative tale. Readers of Ballad of the Whiskey Robber may not fall in love with Attila Ambrus as the Hungarians did, but his story will surely entertain them.
