Book Reviews of Blackjack Bluebook II - the simplest winning strategies ever published (2006 edition)
Book Review: Great starter card counting book for the basic strategy player
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the reviews that gave this book only 1 star. I'm pretty sure those people either flew through the book, didn't know anything about blackjack before reading the book, or thought they were smart and could master blackjack in a day, or all three. For example, one reviewer says that he/she doesn't know which strategy to employ nor in what order to employ the strategies. Well, I have the book right here. The title of Chapter 6 is "What comes after Basic Strategy?" Well, I guess he skimmed the book so fast that he didn't even bother to look at the chapter titles. All in all, a person needs to be serious about learning and playing blackjack, or in my opinion, already know a little something about basic strategy. At the very least, go sit at some $5 tables and just get comfortable with the table environment. Stay away from continuous shufflers!
I own the book. It's a great starter card counting book. Renzey really lays out the core components of the game and the order content is almost flawless. However, you absolutely must take your time! I knew basic strategy to a "T" before I bought the book. Well, actually the book corrected me in some small details because I didn't know basic strategy changed given the rules of the table (e.g. dealer hits or stands on soft 17). Renzey comments on these variations starting on page 55. Even though I had been playing blackjack for years, I set the book aside right then (obviously keeping it close for reference) and spent at least two weeks mastering each variation! Again, take your time.
I then moved on to advanced plays and then to card counting. I've had the book for over a year and I still practice, practice, practice. I also re-read several key sections in the book. As for learning the KISS Count (Stage I), I again set the book aside and practiced for what I know was at least two months. I practiced until I NEVER messed the count up. Anyway, I decided to stop at the stage 3 KISS Count. I'm still trying to master the surrender deviations. The only part of the book I didn't care for was the explanation of "Board Composition." I did read it thoroughly, but I never practiced it. However, if you want to relax after each time your cards are dealt, this may be the way to go. If you have one of the seven hands discussed, all you have to do is scan the table to see what is out there. You may or may not change your action (e.g. hit instead of stand).
Finally, Renzey suggests reading all the books you can about blackjack. I'm taking that advice and that is why I am on Amazon today.

Summary of Blackjack Bluebook II - the simplest winning strategies ever published (2006 edition)
A down-to-earth, comprehensive handbook on how to play and legitimately win at casino blackjack. It contains an extensive chapter on correct basic strategy, including a color-coded strategy chart--plus clear explanations of the proper plays for several hands that are consistently misplayed. Convincing visual scenarios are given to disprove prevalent blackjack myths which most typical players believe in--and steadfastly play by. It presents 3 different card counting systems ranging from entry-level to professional, and showcases the KISS Count--an easy-to-use, upgradable system for gaining a full-scale advantage in today's modern games. Also offers valuable, "outside-the-box" maneuvers for improving the performance of the common player, many of which have scarcely, or never appeared in print, such as: Profiting from Other Players' Hands, The Magnificent 7 Hands, Hi Card/Lo Card Layouts, The Ace/10 Front Count, True Fudging with Unbalanced Counts, and The "Nifty 15" Camouflage Hands. This book contains over 40 useful charts and 60 vivid hand illustrations.Blackjack Books
