Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Superb Comment: This book is a true roller coaster ride through the life of Kevin Lewis. It is fast paced and really does read like a movie (whcich it obviously is now). I found it incredibly difficult to stop reading this book right from the word go and if I hadn't needed to go to work, I wouldn't have stopped. If you are loking for a book that will keep you entertained and engaged but with a factual twist, this is the book for you. Almost makes you want to hop on the next flight to Vegas, but there is a warning held in this book as well and in a way that makes it even better still. A true classic. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent book Comment: I could recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Vegas and the world of gambling in particular. The book reads very well and it's impossible to put it down, it builds up to a nice climax and wants you to know more about the subject. This book made me a Ben Mezrich fan. Customer Rating: Summary: Quick read and a good double buy Comment: At the time I only bought Bringing Down The House, that was a mistake, I should have got Breaking Vegas at the same time. I will go back and give the book another read (you can speed-read very quickly thanks to Mezrich's writing) since I watched the faction film "21" at the cinema last month. Anyone wanting the true story, this is the closest you'll get. Customer Rating: Summary: Superb quick read Comment: You will enjoy this one no doubts about it. It's Oceans 11 meet Good Will Hunting and whilst ultimately a bit souless, is an extremely engrossing way to spend a couple of reading sessions. Customer Rating: Summary: Great story, nice style of writing Comment: Over the years I have become a bit of a fan of Ben Mezrich's style of writing; take a true story, add a few bits from another (parallel) story, and then throw it all together in a style generally reserved for fiction writing. The story itself is very interesting, and I'm full of admiration for the skills of the people involved in the card counting schemes. Out here in the real world the word used to describe would be "genius". As well telling you about the main characters' back ground, the history of the card counting scheme, and how it was perfected over time, a fair bit of Vegas history is also thrown in throughout the book. I'm a huge fan of Vegas history books, and this one was the first I read about the card counting scheme. It certainly made me want to read more about the subject; so whilst there may be better books around on the subject this one is certainly a very good place to start.
