Summary: A very badly written book
Comment: This is one of the most poorly written books I have ever read. The system is quite simple and could be explained clearly in a few pages of charts, but the authors have no idea how to make a clear explanation. It would take a conscious effort to make a simple idea any more confusing than has been done in KO Blackjack.
Unfortunately, while the KO count system appears to be a good one -- combining ease of use with a fair amount of power -- the authors make it as difficult to learn as possible. There is a fair amount of information for beginners but, again, this information is better-presented in other volumes.
I would strongly recommend that players at all levels go to another book. Advanced players will want a more powerful system, such as Omega II or Revere. Beginning-intermediate players might well want to use the KO system, but it's a lot easier to understand other simple systems such as Red 7.
Nothing here against the KO system, which is a good one, or Ken Fuchs, who is reported to be a very nice guy and a learned and helpful blackjack expert. But I wouldn't buy this book unless it comes out in a second edition with a complete rewrite.

Summary: K-O is a great system
Comment: I've read a lot of BJ books and played the game all over the country with varying house rules. This book is a great guide. If you stick to basic strategy, except when the count calls for an adjustment, and remain unemotional about the money, you can make some cash. Have patience and stick to the system. The game can be beaten consistently enough for it to be a profitbale hobby. I recommend the book and these guidelines to anyone who wants to make a serious run at the 21 tables: 1.) Practice counting every chance you get; 2.) Play single or double deck until you master the count (it's easier to start this way because if you lose the count you don't have to wait long for the shuffle); 3.) Read as many books as you can and find your counting niche; 4.) Make sure you have the proper bankroll for your bet spread, above all else. The ultimate goal is to be able to count down a 6 or 8-deck shoe. Big decks make for longer runs with a positive count and better camouflage.
