  “This was a great book I just read in 3 days. I hated to put the book down. It was interesting on how the students learned the system of counting cards and all the practice time spent on it. The last third of the book was very exciting and they were getting close to getting caught.This is when I really couldn't put the bbok down. I have been to Vegas so I really was able to visualize the hotels they were hitting. I loved the fact they were beating the casinos and especially the ones in Connecticut where I am from. I never knew they hit Foxwoods and Moheghan Sun for big money. Way to go MIT!!! I hope there are more of you at it, especially at Foxwoods(the casino with the worst customer service and rude hotel staff!) ”

  “Captivating! It was very interesting to know about mysterious world of las vegas and casinos and blackjack, all the same while reading a thriller.”

  “This book started out intriguing, however, towards the middle it got redundant. The end seemed almost inevitable (the teams's demise). I also feel a little cheated at not discovering the identity of who sold out the team. Overall a decent read at 3.5 stars. (A bit too male chauvanist for me)”

  “Relatively interesting. Haven't seen the movie "21," but the movie appears to be much more exciting.”

  What a great and interesting book. I do not know anything about black jack.
  Okay I have played this game when I was young so maybe a bit, but this book was so exiting.
  I could not put it down and read it in one fay.
  Want to read more by this author. short and sweet.”

  “This was really interesting to read. It made me want to play Blackjack.
  I rented the movie, that was based this novel--and I think the book was better, but isn't that how it usually is.”
