David's review
rating:
Pro: The story is great. A group of MIT students successfully implement a series of techniques for winning at blackjack and then must deal with the angry underbelly of the casino universe.
Con: The writing is bad and (worse) misleading. This book masquerades as nonfiction, but the narrative is comprised of recreated scenes and (especially) conversations that the writer cannot have any way of accurately reproducing.
Bottom line: Your time would be better spent if you read the Wikipedia article titled "MIT Blackjack Team" instead
