Bringing Down the House

I am currently reading Bringing Down The House by Ben Mezrich. I have seen the movie about this book named 21 and enjoyed it a lot, so I decided to read the book. The book follows students at MIT and how they count cards at casinos. So far the book is just setting up the rest of the story by describing the characters, the system they use, and developing character relationships. So far I would suggest this book to others but I do not think I am not very far in the book so it is too early to say.
