Ugly Americans: The True Story of the Ivy League Cowboys Who Raided the Asian Markets for Millions
Ben Mezrich
Harper Perennial, 2005
Great book
Another of Ben Mezrich's books which does not evolve around card-counting. It has a similar structure to his other books, which I find very interesting - a story which would take place somewhere in the past is followed up by an interview today. Very high-paced read ...

Breaking Vegas
Ben Mezrich
ARROW (RAND), 2006
A helluva good story!
This book claims to be a true story of Semyon Dukach, who bested the world of casino blackjack. Could be true. Maybe it isn't. Doesn't matter. It's a helluva good story about some MIT students who followed a mentor with a new and not illegal system of beating the odds ...

Fertile Ground
Ben Mezrich
Avon, 2001
FERTILE FUN
I do pity readers who can't read a book without looking for errors or "unrealities" that they seem to know in their vast wealth of useless knowledge. I found this book highly entertaining as a medical "what if" thriller. Not a treatise on anything. Just a fun read, ...

Ben Mezrich
William Morrow, 2007
NYMEX Floor character study spot on
I'm surprised to see so many negative reviews of this book, it's like either people don't understand, can't believe the story, or are just put off by the whole oil trading thing... People talking about electronic trading... let me tell you that this book sheds some ...

Ben Mezrich

Smart and rich
A great tale compellingly told. Would have been nice to have had some of the math exposed in an appendix for those who care, but a grand story

ENTERTAINING BUT TOO UNREAL
I enjoyed reading the book. It was fast-paced & full of action -- too full in fact, it is more apt for a movie. I am not saying the story is unreal. The genetic engineering side is plausible -- what with all the developments & advancements around us. What is quite ...

Busting Vegas
Ben Mezrich
William Morrow, 2005
Semyon Dukach couldn't believe how easy the money was. In one weekend, the MIT math genius and his team of geeks had made $200,000 playing the blackjack tables in Las Vegas. They hadn't cheated. Instead, they had discovered one of humanity's greatest holy grails: a system to beat the casino. They had rendered obsolete the old saying that the house ...
