21: Bringing Down the House Movie Tie-In: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions Audiobook

" The fact that it's based on a true story only adds to the effect the book has on the reader. A nice mix between a chronicle about the MIT team and a thriller, the book only falters towards the end, where I felt they rushed the conclusion of the story too much. "

" great set up for the movie. which i can't wait to see. "

" Very interesting book. A good quick read. "

" I'm not a huge nonfiction reader, but this book was fascinating and entertaining. It reads like fiction; I was tense and worried as I read it. And since I really dislike Las Vegas and everything it represents, it was enjoyable to learn how some young people stuck it to the casinos! "

" Good summer read. Fascinating because it was true... "

" AMAZING. Saw the movie first unfortunately, but ran to Target RIGHT after and bought the book!! "

" Very entertaining book. I always like to read books about the little guys taking the big casinos for everything they've got. Mezrich writing is effortless, which makes for a quick read. Makes me want to play some blackjack. "

" I defy anyone not to try the plus one minus one after reading this "

" Quite an interesting read although not exactly a page turner. "

" Even if this isn't a true story, I was riveted from the start. Change the label to fiction and I would still gladly read it. "

" crazy MIT kids... so clever in how they come up with their system of beating blackjack. "

" Very cool book. I think everyone has read it or at least seen the movie version (which differs tremendously). Again, with all Mezrich books, gotta take of it what you will because you know there are gross exaggerations throughout. "

" Interesting story made more intriguing in the hands of this gifted storyteller. "

" easy to read & very explanatory. didn't expect to really love it, but i did! "

" May 2006 book club at Donna's "

" Not the best-written book ever, but an incredibly fun read, especially since it actually happened (more or less, I guess). "

" I have already read this book but I re-read it for our book group. I thought it was pretty interesting, especially since it was a true story. I cannot imagine the amount of money these kids were bringing in. I would have been too paranoid about getting caught. "

" when i moved into my house in Oakland i made this goal that i would not buy any more books until i had read anything on our shelves... this was one that Ains owned... its read as almost a thriller or suspense book and though gambling isnt my thing... i would recommend it "

" I really enjoyed the audio recording of this book. It's suspenseful and fascinating and all based on a true story! The author sums up the risks the characters take along with their enjoyment of card-counting. I highly recommend this for a quick, suspenseful, yet educational read! "

" Very entertaining and not a tough or long read. "

" I saw the movie first it was pretty good but the book was by far better! "

" Interesting story on group of MIT students who take Blackjack Basic Strategy and card counting to a new level and fleece Vegas and other casinos until they are discovered. "

" A great story - interesting and fascinating - a true page turner. "

" I was surprised at how un-boring this book is...I'm very left-brained and very un-good at numbers, so reading a book that's essentially - well - numbers, was about as uninviting of a prospect as regular Pepsi.<br/><br/>I liked the story, but hated the movie. "

" Excellent Book! I highly recommend it! "

" A fast-paced story about six MIT geniuses who legally beat Vegas's largest casinos out of more than $3 million in less than two years. I am not a big fan of gambling, but I still enjoyed this book. I'd recommend it highly for people who love math! "
