Summary: A poor piece of writing
Review: I'm sorry. This book has nothing going for it. None of the characters are believable. The story line is simplistic. It is writing by the numbers. Again, I was fortunate to have been given this book to read by a friend, but he did me no favors and so I am using this space to deliver that message to those who want to know whether they should shell out good hard cash to buy this book. Don't. The message is just that simple.

Summary: Not a very good read. Wait for the paperback.
Review: I've read all of Stephen Frey's books and can say that I've been very disappointed with his more recent work. Trust Fund isn't about a Trust Fund. The main character is not very likeable. There are too many shady, behind the scenes characters that make cameo apperances making the book a choppy read (because the book really isn't that long). I'm always disappointed when a new author starts churning out a book a year, grisham-like, while quality suffers... Wait for the paperback...

Summary: Great read
Review: I've read all of Stephen Frey's books and this was the best to date. A number of interesting twists and revelations kept my attention throughout the whole book. I couldn't put it down. I guarantee you'll be glad you read it.

Summary: Page turner
Review: Not painful. The pages keep turning. But ho hum...This book has some promise in the beginning. I thought I was going to learn something new. But, alas, the author was only interested in writing action (yawn). I don't know if he bothered to research the interesting intricacies of finance and technology or just decided the reader wasn't interested. Wrong guess. Why can't we get some Tom Clancyish detail here? Now that'd be fun.

Summary: Trust Fund rocks
Review: Once again Frey outdoes himself. I could not put this book down, and ended up staying up far to late reading "Trust Fund" Highly recommended. You will enjoy this book!

Summary: Wish I hadn't bought it
Review: One of the most contrived "novels" I have read in several years. Each action was so implausible that often the author stopped in his tracks and created a little backstory, which only served the stop the action. It is like hearing somebody telling a story who stops and says "Oh, I forgot to explain ..." and then backtracking. My hope was to learn a little about Enron-type shenanigans through an interesting story. My money (though a pittance for a paperback version) was as ill-spent as if I had bought Enron stock in September, 2001. Choong!

Summary: A good one
Review: Read this one in less than three days and was gardening in between. I love financial stories and this is a good one. Not only loaded with action,the stocks and funds running wild but a multi billion dollar family doing all the directing with all the dislike of one another that could be possible. The intriquing quirk within the story line of a hi-tech idea of mind control handled with CIA type influence also made this greatly to my likes. I have enjoyed all of Stephen Frey's novels and will look forward to more of the same.

Summary: 4 1/2 stars
Review: See story summary above. I must admit that this is Stephen Frey's best novel so far. I know it sounds cliched, but it really grabbed me from the start and wouldn't let go. This book is definitely best read in one to three sittings because it is a little complex sometimes. As far as entertainment and pure escapist fiction goes, this was a great read. Power and Money make this suspenseful novel tick. Keep up the good work Mr. Frey. Highly recommended.
