review 1: I had a hard time getting my head into this book. The primary reason, at least to me, was the fact that I found ALL, and I mean each and every one of the characters to be so incredibly disagreeable. They were, greedy, manipulative, shallow, callous, and I could easily just keep on going. In the end, I think the only reason I stayed with it was to see if they got busted, which I honestly was hoping for. The story itself wasn't too bad, the characters though...Yuck. No spoiler here, other than the entire book itself......
review 2: Mickey Steinberg, a former Wall Street big shot and inside trader, leaves minimum security prison with big ambitions but few options. Ostracized from his former world but eager to recapture his status – ideally his wealth and/or ex-w... moreife – Steinberg schemes with his former prison friend Paul. The goal is to make one big trade, one that will conveniently net Steinberg millions, ruin his ex-wife’s new fiance and drive her back to his arms, and re-establish his credentials in his former circles. Paul, meanwhile, wants one score to impress out-of-his-league girlfriend Jennifer. Meanwhile, Mickey’s old partner wants revenge for ending up in prison. Suspense ensues.This is a short, by-the-numbers supsense novel. The deal comes together quickly – too quickly to be realistic, but just fast enough to keep the momentum moving. Similarly, the revenge angle is simple and direct and the book would simply be a cleaner, if shorter, story without it. Either way, though, the pages keep turning, and at 234 pages, it’s a very quick read.I got this book for free from Amazon, and it was definitely worth the price. I’m not sure how much more it’s worth, though. less
