A book thrilling enough to turn its own pages. The book is the true story. The movie was basically fictional.

This book is a good example of why I like non-fiction. What an intriguing story. If you weren't interested in BlackJack before reading this, you will be afterwards.

Fascinating exploration of how a team of MIT students "beat the system" in Vegas. Ben Mezrich does an excellent job of researching what happened and sharing the story with his readers.
