Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions by Ben Mezrich (non-fiction)
Summary: The basis for the movie 21, this is the story of six students who perfected a system of card counting and used it to win millions of dollars playing blackjack.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
Comments:After seeing the movie, I was really interested in reading the story of what really happened. And while this book is labeled non-fiction, apparently it belongs with the novels, as a good deal of the events in the book never occurred. I enjoyed reading it (although I really wish it were all true), but had to mark it down a little more because of the frequency of a certain word that begins with "f."
