Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich

Non-fiction! The story: a group of MIT students who through a card counting system can beat the dealer and win at blackjack. They proceed to make millions, from Vegas to Atlantic City and every Indian reservation in between. Mildly interesting but the main character was annoying and kinda dense for someone who is supposed to be so smart. He was portrayed as having some mild regret for what he did and I think it would have been a hell of a lot cooler if the guy just owned up to it. I mean for gods sake, if you are going to do something pretty cool don’t be acting like a little boy who got caught cutting school. Man up! Yes, I won millions and had hottie prostitutes all over me because I had boatloads of cash. Done, see how easy that was?
