Flawless: Inside the Largest Diamond Heist in History Audiobook

" Great fun. I love a good heist story and this is a great one, doubly so because it's true. The heart of the book is the preparation for and execution of the heist -- and learning how these thieves managed to rob a vault in the heart of one of the most security conscious neighborhoods in the world (Antwerp's diamond district) is fascinating reading -- but Selby's detours into the history of locks, diamond mining, the Belgian legal system, the culture of Turin, Italy and diamonds themselves are just as interesting. "

" An exciting true life adventure that adds yet another reason to avoid littering. "

" If you are really interested in the history of diamonds or the diamond industry, I think you would probably rate this book at least 4-stars. If you are not, and are just looking for an egaging book about an extermemly impressive heist, you might find this book satisfying, but slightly long and bogged-down in excessive detail. However the writing is good, and the story is quite fascinating. "

" Fascinating story. I hope someday the entire plot and all the players are revealed. "

" A thrill ride, exciting and detailed enough to make you feel like you're along for the ride with the criminals. Once you read what tripped them up, you'll be amazed at how close they were to completely getting away with the heist. Once you read how little time 4 of the group spent in prison, you may be tempted to try to plan a diamond heist of your own! A fun read that will give you more insight into the diamond industry in general. "

" This is the true life story of the biggest diamond heist in history. I've always loved heist movies and reading about all the work that went into this real heist was fascinating. The authors interviewed many of the people involved -- both victims and perps. Fun to see how the top notch security that was in place was circumvented by the patience and ingenuity of the theives. Lots on interesting tidbits about the inner working of the diamond industry. I didn't expect this to be such a quick fun read, but it was. "

" Rather interesting reading about the largest jewelry heist in history in Belgium The author barely had enough information to write the book due to the difficulty of getting information. The jewelry heist was interesting and the breakdown of security ingenious; but the members of the heist and the getting the combination lock remained basically unknown. "

" Good read... :-) "

" Fantastic story! Learned about the diamond industry and professional thievery in a fast paced, well researched book yet the writing style was a bit dull. "

" A little boring, but fascinating in how they engineered this heist. Learned a lot about diamonds! "

" Really interesting look at one of the biggest heists ever. "

" i reccommend this book to people who, like me, are not big readers of nonfiction. the word 'nonfiction' was synonymous with 'torture' before i read this book. Scott Andrew Selby's book reads like a thriller. <3 it! "

" Great story going into great detail of the research needed and dedication to attempt such a feat. Also the fact that even with the very best and most detailed of plans a simple error or oversight can plunge an entire project into chaos. "

" Great book. Reads like a real life oceans 11 or Italian job "

" A well-written book but I couldn't get into it because I have no interest in the details of capers and diamond heists. "

" This book was SO MUCH FUN. If the title intrigues you at all, or if you have ever enjoyed a heist film or story of any kind, go out and read this. Really, the most fun I've had with a book in awhile. 100% recommended. "

" Reads like a Hollywood script, but it's true. This is the story of the planning, execution and (partial) outcome of the greatest diamond heist to this point in history. I listened to this book on Audible, but it would be equally as good to read the book. "

" An exciting true life adventure that adds yet another reason to avoid littering. "

" Kind of like that both on the History of Cod I read. Lots of good research and details... very boring narrative. "

" This book intrigued me from beginning to end. Readers interested in how the heist was planned in 27 months should take a look at this. Amazing. "

" Fantastic story! Learned about the diamond industry and professional thievery in a fast paced, well researched book yet the writing style was a bit dull. "

" I loved that book, I will very likely read it again. There is however an error in the book. There was no mafia in Russia before 1990. "

" This was a fascinating story. It's hard to believe this actually happened. "

" Enjoyable read. A non-fiction account that read more like an action novel. Well done. "

" As entertaining as any movie, except we are left guessing. All I want to be when I grow up now is a diamond thief, or a diamond trading Jew. "
