An easy read, 2008-05-19
This was good fun to read and helped kill a lot of otherwise dull time on aeroplanes and in airport lounges. Very easy to read and the plot line keeps the reader interested enough to turn the next page even when your flight is being called. This isn't just a book for the hardened Vegas visitor and you don't need a genius IQ to understand what the MIT students are up to, all you really need is a macabre enjoyment of reading about the casinos being taken for a fortune - it worked for me!
Another great card-counting book, 2008-12-12
This book takes it all to the next level from his last book on card-counting. If you don't know anything about the subject it's probably worth reading the original book first, then this one.
The techniques revealed here are stunningly simple, just using the casinos' techniques to full advantage and give the player the edge with the odds. But now they're taking so much money, so soon, and with complete certainty as they know what cards are coming, that they get to experience the real nasty side of casino life. These guys are lucky to be alive...
Breaking Vegas - A touch of class, 2006-07-28
i previously read bringing down the house and thought it was a first class easy read. Breaking Vegas is similar in genre but is another effortless read.
Read It.
The Collection of must read Books. , 2007-02-12
The collection of Books start with Bringing down the house then Breaking Vegas and to save the Best for last Ugly Americans. These three books are a must read. Taking you through the lives of Six students on there epic adventure to Vegas. Ben Mezrich really explains the story well and it will keep you awake all night.
Breaking Begas is the next step along, it talks about Sex, Love and Violence. Easily the best book to that date and will get every Gambler out there into those Casinos.
Then there had to be Ugly Americans. The Best book I have ever read and I cant stop thinking about it. Since finishing the book I have researched all about the true stories inside the book. Great Author and Wicked books. They are all a must read. Best in the above order. Cheers
Unputdownable.....as they say, 2007-02-26
What a fantastic read! Ben Mezrich is a such a skilled writer - okay, he was given a great story, but he made the main character, Semyon Dukach, totally sympathetic rather than arrogant and conceited as I thought he might be and the romantic sub-plot between him and Allie was intriguing. In fact, I would have liked the book to be longer and learned more about the casino trips that didn't end in trouble. Easy to read and fascinating.
