Pretty interesting to see how they manipulated the mathematics of BlackJack to their favor. Couldn't help, however, but picture the protagonist as this trenchcoated computer jock embellishing stories about himself to the third degree to sound cool (i.e. I don't buy that these stories are true beyond the winning at long blackjack games). <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/740552?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
