Title: not the best on the subject
Review: This book was mostly fiction. The MIT students did succeed in counting cards successfully but the author embellished the story to the point of fiction in many cases. Nevertheless, it is fairly interesting as a light read although not very well-written. For a much more interesting look at card counting read another book called "Striking It Rich: Golf in the Kingdom with Generals, Patients amd Pros". I enjoyed this book immensely. It was written by an MIT grad who actually did the card counting and it shows. It is also about MIT and medicine (the guy is now a plastic surgeon) and golf (he is a pro golfer also) but the chapter on his former life as a card counter is fascinating and much more informative that BDTH.
