  It' rare to find an author who can grab and hold a readers attention as well as Mezrich. He maintains a constant pace and clarity throughout this book, turning a piece of investigative journalism into an intriguing thriller.
  
  As a side note if you have seen the movie adaptation "21", the book is still a great read. The movie removed a number of important factors and changed the storyline significantly.
