Book Review: Bringing Down the House
The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students
Who Took Vegas for Millions

When was the last time you cancelled your Friday night plans to stay at home (or a café) to read? I never thought the day would come, but when a friend recommended Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions, the last thing on my mind was a night out on the town. From the moment I turned page one, I knew I wouldn't be going anywhere. Ben Mezrich brings us a gripping real-life Ocean's Eleven; a recount of genius scholars and the quest for money, excitement and a game or two of blackjack.

A heart-thumping story of six brilliant M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) students who don fake names, occupations, lives (double lives, actually) and even fake appearances in a successful attempt to take Vegas for millions of dollars in just under two years. What started out as a club in a M.I.T. classroom eventually became a complex web of card savants with a system for playing large and winning big. Instead of frat parties and homecoming games, these math geniuses spent their weekends living in the lap of luxury, hob-knobbing it with big-time celebrities and making more money than their parents. This is one unbelievable true story.

Mezrich's New York Times Bestseller had me biting my nails and flipping pages like crazy. This book will appeal to anyone and everyone with a pulse--especially if you've ever dreamt of winning the lottery. If you love mysteries, thrillers, crime-stories or dramas then trust me, this book is no gamble. If every book I read was this exciting, I'd never go out on weekends! This is one story that Vegas definitely does not want you to read.
