I am a little further in the book, Bringing Down the House, so I think there is much more to say. As I said before, this is the book behind the movie, 21, and I am enjoying it very much. I love how Ben Mezrich shows these straight A MIT kids meeting up together. Then they go through the process and tests of learning how to count cards in black jack so they know the outcome of the hand. Then the MIT kids start going to casinos and doing what they do best. The interesting part about this particular story is that Ben Mezrich has his characters transform from crazy smart college students into Las Vegas hot shots. I would highly recommend this book to anybody but will warn that some part can get a little inappropriate.

This sounds like a interesting book. I was a little confused at the first part of this blog, is the movie based on this book? Or is it delving deeper into what the movie covered. Also who does this story revolve around, is it one main character or a group of kids. I myself have never seen the movie nor heard of this book, but I may now head out to the book store and read it!
