Simply put, if you liked "Bringing Down the House" or "The Accidental Billionaires" or any other of Mezrich's work, you'll be sure to enjoy this yarn. For newbies, you will be sure to enjoy how the author dramatizes real events, though his tendency to extrapolate and make his oftentimes morally ambiguous subjects more sympathetic to the reader can grate at times.
