This book is non-fiction "loosely defined" - as some names have been changed and some characters are composites and some circumstances altered. Having said that, the book gives a great account of the MIT blackjack enterprise and the "attacks" on the casinos especially in Las Vegas. Also, included in the book are quite a few details re: card counting and playing blackjack in general. I found the last 1/3 of the book the most interesting - as the casinos gradually become aware of these attacks and begin countermeasures and confrontations.
All in all, an excellent read.
