Summary: A Great Book!
Review: Thsi is a very entertaining read. If you are looking for deep thought you have come to the wrong place, but if you are looking for an enjoyable, fast-paced story this is the book for you. Meltzer has written 4 books and his writing is getting better with each one. There is enough humor to make you laugh out loud at a few points, while at the same time it is action-packed enough to keep you reading. One thing I really like about Meltzer is that he keeps the chapters short, which keeps me reading faster because I keep thinking "I can finish another chapter."

Summary: Unbelievable tale
Review: I really enjoyed Mr Meltzer's first book, which was Dead Even. I was very disappointed in this one though. I thought it to be poorly written and very unbelievable. I never could identify with the main characters and so really didn't care what happened to them. I kept reading it hoping it would get better, but it never did. The bad guys were really bad and the good guys were just bad. The only character I liked was Joey and there was not enough of her in the book. From the jacket I was expecting a book like A Simple Plan, which by the way is a real page turner. I am hoping his next book is back up to the standards of Dead Even and the 10th Justice.

Summary: Save Your Money
Review: I wanted to like this book. I really did. I read a lot of books. Perhaps just having read Corrections, it's unfair to judge this book against Franzen's novel, but, I can't help myself. DO NOT waste your time or money on this book's overly simple, poorly developed characters and story line. I guess if you're reading the book out loud to your 9 year old, it probably would be OK; otherwise, don't bother.

Summary: 4 1/2 stars
Review: I always look forward to the latest Meltzer novel and this, again, was no disappointment.Charlie and Oliver Caruso, two brothers working for Greene and Greene, a private bank that requires a minimum of 2 million dollars to open an account, stumble upon an abandoned account containing 3 million dollars. In what they think is a foolproof plan, they talk themselves into stealing it. Well it wasn't foolproof. First of all, when they transfer the 3 million they receive quite a shock when they look at their deposit. Secondly a friend of theirs is shot and they are blamed. In the meantime two rogue secret service agents are after them as is a private investigator. How do you try to clear your name if indeed you're guilty? I really enjoyed this fast-paced thriller. Of course, like everyone else, I thought of Grisham when reading this. Better than the new Grisham, comparable to the old. Laced with some humorous dialogue and some surprising twists. I think lovers of the thriller will like this one. Disneyland was a Hoot. The secret service's roll in this novel took me somewhat by surprise. Highly recommended.

Summary: Much better ending
Review: I was nervous reading this book, because while I love and get totally enthralled with Meltzer's books, I tend to be disappointed with his endings. This one, however, did not disappoint.
But, more so than loving the story, I really loved the characters. If you have a sibling, which I do, this story will make you smile - simply because of the very realistic portrayal of a sibling relationship!
These brothers are great - their dialog is great - and, more to the point, their talking without dialog is great! It's worth the read...both for the story, and for the relationship between these two, very different brothers!
Great job Meltzer - you are getting better and better!

Summary: Out does Tenth Justice
Review: Tenth Justice been my favorite for a long time until I read The Millionaires. First book I've read in a long time that's hard to put down once you start reading.

Summary: Not his best but definitely a great work easily read
Review: Though a slow reader, I was able to read in one day. i still contend that 10th Justice is his best (note: I have not read 1st council yet). However, it was an excellent read. It was definitely a shocker. One difference among Meltzer's works is that this book was written from Oliver's point of view rather than the typical anonymous narrative. I specially enjoyed the characters. Charlie and Joey were my favorites.

Summary: Grisham, pleeeaase! Forget Grisham!
Review: I was very excited to see that one of my favorite authors had a new book released. My only problem is that I devoured this book in 1 day and now I have to wait at least a year until his next one. BOO HOO! Meltzer's latest has 2 brothers trying to steal 3 million dollars from the highly exclusive bank they work in. It seems like a fool proof plan. Play a dead guy and collect $3 million. The only problem is that someone else set it up and wants in on it when he discovers that the brothers took his con. My favorite part has to be when the 3 of them are trying to figure out where to wire the money to. The Caymans? Nah, everyone sends it there ever since Grisham popularized it in 'The Firm'. All in all, a great romp, yes romp, of a book! It's a quick and easy read. Meltzer really sucks you in with his characters. I hope he brings back one of the minor ones, Joey, a private investigator, in another book. His use of location is fantastic. You really get a great sense of being in Disney and when you do go there, I know I'll be watching Snow White to see where she goes :) Buy this book, you won't regret it! Thanks for reading!

Summary: A guaranteed page-turner!
Review: What would you do if you could steal and not get caught? That is the question at the heart of 'The Millionaires'. Two brothers, Charlie and Oliver Caruso work for Greene And Greene, a private bank that will only take customers willing to put in at least two million dollars. When the brothers Caruso are doing a check of accounts, they come across an account that should have been closed, but suspiciously remains open, and in the account lies three million dollars. After investigating further into this matter, they find the man who the account belongs to is dead. While their wheels are spinning about what to do, the brothers decide to take the money from the account, and transfer it to an account for themselves...after all who would miss the money? As their plan goes into motion, a fellow co-worker gets killed, and the Secret Service are on their tail tracking every move. How did anyone know what they did? Why is the Secret Service involved? Who is the mysterious woman also tailing them? And how will the brothers prove their innocence? Now on the run for the murder of their friend, Charlie and Oliver must work quick if they are to find the answers to these questions, but what they find is a shocking secret that will change their lives. 'The Millionaires' is another fast-paced, page turner from Brad Meltzer, the best-selling author of 'The First Counsel'. And while the plot gets a little confusing, Meltzer manages to keep the reader hooked all the way to the tidy ending. With loads of shady characters, unexpected plot twists, and shocking secrets revealed at just the right time, 'The Millionaires' proves to be a sure bet for non-stop entertainment. Brad Meltzer has written another winner, that will surely fly up the best-seller lists, and keep readers anxiously awaiting his next novel. Nick Gonnella

Summary: The Millionaires...
Review: is a definite winner among the Meltzer fans and newcomers. The Millionaires, a novel about stealing without being caught, is funny, thrilling, and a read-in-one-sitting type of book that'll be long in your mind after finishing. The Millionaires will climb the NYT chart in no time.
