Summary: Same
Review: The dialogue and the plot is not much different from "The Tenth Justice", so if you like that it is fine. Otherwise I found it to be without much new thinking and creativity.
If you have the choice, read something else.

Summary: Fun read, nothing earth-shattering
Review: As a financial thriller, this is an okay book, but nothing outstanding. I mostly enjoyed reading it because it moved fairly quickly. The positives: Quick and painless; Different subject; Exploration of the "gray" areas of crime (when you think no one can get hurt, does that make it right?). The negatives: Dialogue is a bit too cliche at times; Meltzer still has some work to do to perfect his craft as a writer; Unbelievable plot (but that's okay for a quick and painless read); Flat characterization (the villains) or over characterization (the main characters) a bit annoying at times. Overall, neither bad nor good. Just okay.

Summary: No Millionaires today
Review: This is my first Metzer novel. I listened to the unabridged version. The narrator was great. The first section of the book caught my attention. The initial setup and reasoning was first rate. The first serious flaw came when the brothers instead of getting out of the country and enjoy the immense wealth are determined to find out more about the account they stole from. WHY!!!! The book became very bogged down about a third of the way through it. The storyline became totally unbelievable.
The Secret Service is made to look like rank amateurs. The love interest in the story was telegraphed so far in advance a first grader could figure out that she was part of the initial group stealing the money. Two timid brothers have as much chance of pulling off this caper as someone winning the lottery on the first ticket purchased. Metzer continues the hyper writing to the end. In the process, he rips off at least three movies that had Disney as the scene of the climax. The ending of the story is very unsatisfactory. Don't waste your time with this book.
