Customer Reviews
Quick read and a good double buy - Rated At the time I only bought Bringing Down The House, that was a mistake, I should have got Breaking Vegas at the same time. I will go back and give the book another read (you can speed-read very quickly thanks to Mezrich's writing) since I watched the faction film "21" at the cinema last month. Anyone wanting the true story, this is the closest you'll get. Superb quick read - Rated You will enjoy this one no doubts about it. It's Oceans 11 meet Good Will Hunting and whilst ultimately a bit souless, is an extremely engrossing way to spend a couple of reading sessions. Great story, nice style of writing - Rated Over the years I have become a bit of a fan of Ben Mezrich's style of writing; take a true story, add a few bits from another (parallel) story, and then throw it all together in a style generally reserved for fiction writing. The story itself is very interesting, and I'm full of admiration for the skills of the people involved in the card counting schemes. Out here in the real world the word used to describe would be "genius". As well telling you about the main characters' back ground, the history of the card counting scheme, and how it was perfected over time, a fair bit of Vegas history is also thrown in throughout the book. I'm a huge fan of Vegas history books, and this one was the first I read about the card counting scheme. It certainly made me want to read more about the subject; so whilst there may be better books around on the subject this one is certainly a very good place to start. Superb - Rated An interesting and compelling read, highly recommended for any technical minded people, or anyone looking for an interesting story. Much better than the film 21 (based on the book). Fantastic - Rated This is an amazing story by itself - but the author manages to include all that is necessary and furthermore, what the reader WANTS to know about this guy. Having been to Vegas, I feel this story excited me more because I could visualise the scenes. It took me back to Vegas which was incredible. It is also educational, to an extent. I definately recommend this book. A must read - if you have been to and enjoyed Vegas.
