21

21 is one of the few non-fictional books that I have read of our times that is fun to read, exciting, breath-taking, original, pacy yet some-how true and happened to the least expected protagonist, MIT students.
Consider this, you are a nerd, you find a way to make money, filthy lots of it, that suits your geeky self, is perfectly -almost perfectly- legal and involves Mathematics. MIT is the black-drop of the story, where Kevin befriends suspicious rich kids and becomes one of them in a journey that seems so real, it could have happened in front of your eyes. In the vast-lands of Vegas, under the tress of Black-jack grow stacks of bills, if you are keen enough to see, intelligent enough to learn and most importantly, frezzing cool in high adrenaline crunch situations. And these kids are the reapers, but they find out they are not solitary, and thus begins the competition, a race for more.
All in all, It is a worthy read if you a know of a bit of cards, a bit of maths and dream to make it big !

Now on to “Half of a yellow sun”.
