1.		The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal from Doubleday Price: $9.98 Customer Review: The prototype that would become Facebook was launched at Harvard University in February 2004, running on a server in a dorm room. Now that Facebook has over 300 million users, it seems as if this vast social networking phenomenon might have invented itself in response to nature's abhorrence of... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		21: Bringing Down the House - Movie Tie-In: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions from Free Press Price: $0.01 Customer Review: I picked this up after seeing the movie '21.' I knew the movie was largely fiction, and wanted to see what really happened. The book is a good read; the author can definitely write. However, I have learned that the book is at least 50% fiction! Look, anybody can make up a story. Just be up... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Ugly Americans: The True Story of the Ivy League Cowboys Who Raided the Asian Markets for Millions from Harper Perennial Price: $4.74 Customer Review: A disappointing follow up to "Bringing Down The House". Anticlimactic ending, but I suppose you cant blame the author for the ending to a true story. You can however blame him for thinking the story was worth writing in the first place.

4.		Rigged: The True Story of an Ivy League Kid Who Changed the World of Oil, from Wall Street to Dubai (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $2.42 Customer Review: The good news was that I was not expecting much and I paid Kindle price rather then airport price. The bad news is that the book is not very well written and loaded with cheesy stereotypes.	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Busting Vegas: A True Story of Monumental Excess, Sex, Love, Violence, and Beating the Odds from Harper Perennial Price: $3.84 Customer Review: Vegas is an alternate reality. Reading this book it is sometimes hard to believe that the events described by Ben Mezrich occurred in real life - captivating read and a fascinating story of a MIT blackjack team on the run to outdo the casinos. The book reveals the three different strategies that the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.	[no image]	BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE from ARROW Price: $8.44 Customer Review: The item was as advertised, arrived in very good condition, and arrived in less time than expected.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		The X-Files: Skin from HarperEntertainment Price: $4.20 Customer Review: This book took me almost 2 years to read (not because it was bad, but I have a hard time reading a book without putting it down for months at a time). I've owned it for 7 years, finally finished it last night and was actually quite impressed with it. I've read all but "Ruins" of the X-Files novels... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.i.t. Students Who Took Vegas from San Val Price: $43.27 Customer Review: I loved this book when I first read it. I have since learned that much of the book is fictionalized! I knew that the win rates were exaggerated (I read a card-counting book many years ago), but was very disappointed to learn that much of the action was fiction as well. How can they sell this as... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Threshold from Grand Central Publishing Price: $6.00 Customer Review: Unfortunately, a reasonably good plot was ruined by characters that are wishy-washy at best and scenarios that are just simply stupid. Without going to much into it, I'll never understand why the bad guy with gun pointed at good guy has to talk about how clever the good guy has been to get this far,... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
