Busting Vegas - Mezrich
Rating: 2 stars
Do you ever read a book and get the feeling you’ve read it before? I got that feeling with this book, except I had read it before and it was a book written by the same author. I still haven’t figured out why Mezrich would write two books about 2 different groups of MIT kids that create blackjack systems, go to Vegas, win big, get kicked out of Vegas, then go on with their lives, but this book is a lot like Bringing Down the House, just not as good.

Huh. I liked Bringing Down The House.
So did I. But you probably only need it once. Busting Vegas and Bringing Down the House are like “The Beaver Trilogies” of text.
Maybe he wrote the second one because he knew everyone who liked the first one would buy the second one, and by the time they realized it was the same book only repackaged, it would be too late, bwaa haa haa haa.
