 Game Changer
Let me preface this review by saying that I've read about a dozen other books before this one, including Dan Harrington's tournament books, Phil Gordon's Green and Blue books, Brunson's Super System, and other classic poker books. I like 'em all, but if you're a fan of online sit 'n go tournaments like I am, then you'll find that this book just stands out above all the rest.
br /
br /This book did exactly what it claimed - it changed me from being a break-even player to a winning player. It completely changed the way I was looking at SnGs.
br /
br /Moshman's examples are written in the same format as Harrington's, which I enjoy. Rather than just telling you how to play, it gives you an opportunity to make a decision about what you would do in a given situation, and then the author explains what the correct decision is.
br /
br /The book is broken down into low blind play, mid blind play, and high blind play. There's a fourth section entitled "Career Play," that deals with various things like bankroll size, strategies for multi-tabling, optimum times to play during the week, etc. I was suprised I could learn as much from "Career Play" as I did from the first three sections that dealt specifically how to play a SnG. Definitely worth checking that section out.
br /
br /If at times I find myself struggling and feel like I need a refresher, this is the book I go to. It caters specifically SnG's, and does so in a very logical, detailed, and in depth manner. No tournament book out there even comes close to this one.
br /
br /Bottom line: I was playing $1.10 SnG's before I read this, and now I'm very confidently playing $10 SnG's, and before long I'll be playing the more expensive SnG's.
great book
very technical. additionally, it can be read more then once and you will learn more and more each time. some parts are quite boring
 Limited application but not bad.
If you want to learn a very aggressive approach to playing single table sit and go Holdem tourneys at the $100.+ plus buy-in level this is a good book. The author says he is successful with this method and I believe him. The downside is that his approach will likely be much less successful at the lower limits where raises get far less respect but some of what he teaches will apply to lower limit play.

Excellent book
If I had to advice one poker book only, my choice would be this one. It's explanation of the play with different blind sizes is fantastic. It's very useful also for cash players because they can understand the importance of the stack size (deep cash play is somewhat similar to small blind tournament play). I strongly advice this book
Best SNG book I've read
This is an excellent book on the 1-table SNG format. After describing the theory of play in each of a wide variety of situations (small, medium, and high blinds; short- and big-stacked; cards in hand; etc.), Moshman provides several hand "quizzes" that examine how to play specific hands. This is an EXCELLENT feature missing from most poker books--even most of the good ones.
br /
br /One minor beef: I'd like to see some expansion into multi-table SNG's, which somehow ride the line between the 1-tables discussed here (and in several other books) and full-on tournament play.
