The book gets 5 stars because of how well it teaches and also because you will come away with very comprehensive knowledge of not only card counting, but also all of the other things that make up being able to play and win at blackjack in a casino. If you're looking for a book that covers it all and explains everything in detail, this is the one.

This book is the best book for the money on Blackjack. The title says it all. It covers everything and the content is well presented.

This book was well written, the chapters are short and packed with useful information - no fillers. The author speaks about his personal experience to help you gain a better understanding of what he is trying to say. This was my second book after I read Mensa Guide to Blackjack and I found that the 2 compliment each other. Mensa Guide is heavy on Basic Strategy but light on everything else.

This book offers great advice and recommends many drills that will help you become an advantage player.

This is the best overall of three books on blackjack I've read so far. You get the feeling this man has a very well-organized mind. He's the first author I've read who adequately explains deviations from basic strategy and the matix tables. He nicely discusses the issue of whether to go with a simpler or more complex counting system. Ironically, he is weakest where other writers are stronger: on betting strategy. Here I think he gets a bit too mathematically precise in his betting tables. Would someone with a $20,000 bankroll really bet in amounts of 83, 133, 182, 267, 338...? (p. 122). Of course not. But I completely agree with Bukovsky when he says, "Don't just read this book. Read everything you can get your hands on....Read and reread..." (219). Sound advice, in my view.

I really enjoyed this quick easy read. I purchased the book to read on the plane (DC - CA). I was amazed to discccover that it was a such a fun and interesting read. I really understand the concepts much better and cant wait to put the easy techniques to work!! I highly recommend the book for beginning or advanced players.
