Summary: Fun Book
Review: A story about two people -- Amy, who mysteriously receives a package containing $200,000, and Ryan who just inherited $2 million dollars from his electrician father. The bulk of plot revolves around the mystery of trying to figure out where the money came from, and how the two main characters are connected.This is not great literature, but it is a fun/easy read and the twisty plot is full of surprises, which makes the book difficult to put down. One thing I didnt like was the conclusion -- it was kind of ridiculous because it was so far fetched... Dont let that stop you from reading it though, because this is a decent book.

Summary: Ending does not have what it takes
Review: Departing from a original idea Grippando created a very well conceived suspensed novel with a string of events carefully developed
Two strong characters appear in the plot, with lives destined to clash
The main one is Ryan, a doctor destined to a confortable material life that he forfeited in exchange for his professionals services in a small rural community for the despair of his divorced golddigging wife
The other is, Amy a talented tough minded would be astronomer young woman who is also a single mother that works in charge of the system network of a Colorado middle size law firm whose top manager also had a relation with Ryan's father past
Both of them have received a huge sum of money from the late Ryan's father, a former blue collar worker, and that is where the mystery begins surrounded by tales of blackmailing, rape, a powerful tycoon and safeboxs and accounts in sleazy offshore banks
The story is very well written and compelling all the way to a lackluster ending which might have been far better had the author thought a bit more, looks like he did not want to commit to a last brain push.

Summary: What is this?
Review: Dumbest book in the world. If you want to use it to teach children a good moral lesson in character it's okay; but that's about it. Here I'll some up the story line for you: "Oh, I found money-Humm...I better give it back to the owner-I bet the owner will fall in love with me-Then we'll live happily ever after!" Give me a break and try writing something with some suspence or action or adventure or real romance or something!

Summary: overall, quite good, but several inaccuracies
Review: Good plot and action. The book takes place in Colorado and, as a resident, I found several facts in the book that were not accurate. At times, we have 10% humidity in the summer, yet the book referred several times to the "sticky" heat. Also, the town of Rocky Ford is famous for the cantelope that is grown there and is known as the "melon capital" of Colorado. Imagine my surprise when the book talked about the "watermelon" festival. Not so, Mr. Grippando. There were several other references that overall were small, but detracted nonetheless from the authenticity.
