Lori's Reviews > License to Pawn: Deals, Steals, and My Life at the Gold & Silver

This is a great book for fans of Pawn Stars. I loved learning about the family, including Rick's rough childhood, and Corey's troubled adolescence. I also enjoyed reading about how they turned down HBO, who wanted to focus on the more raunchy customers who pawn their stuff. The focus on the historical items that come into the store makes for much more interesting tv. I hate how TruTV's Hardcore Pawn shows the worst side of the business, so much that they have to bleep out every other word. With Pawn Stars, you still get the dynamic of the relationships between Rick, old man, Corey, and Chumley:) I love how each of them wrote a chapter for the book, so it is not only Rick's point of view.
