The Big Picture

Summary: Yea Right
Review: I liked the idea at first, then I got into the story and I am wondering - wait a minute, has this ever worked? And why am I cheering for this guy? I got to wondering how could Mr. do right turn into Ted Bundy overnight? The book is well written and I liked the main character, but I just had a hard time believing the story and that was before the end. I may be a little hard on the author, again the book was interesting - I finished it, the characters were good and the first part moved along well. I just did not believe the story line and that left me second guessing everything from them on. And why Montana, go to LA - it would have been more fun.

Summary: A good read but,
Review: A good read but wants desperately to be the definitive novel of the 1990's; having to give up what you want to do for the good of family and others. Also the novel is very predictable (especially the events in Montana) and some of the characters are very stereotypical (Rudy Warren, I hated the way he was written). Still I would recommend it based on the fact that many of us wish our lives could be changed and this book makes for a fast and enjoyable read.
