review 1: NYC corporate lawyers are privy to inside information, but only the boys in the postroom get to see all the documents gathered together. Rich is one of them, hoping to work his way up through the system, but he’s befriended by an oleaginous young lawyer who plays on his weaknesses. Rich agrees to participate in a scam so long as there’s a safeguard in place. Each of his blue-collar postroom workmates will know three digits in a fifteen number account code that accesses millions of dollars. One of the team is an ex-gangbanger, another is Special Needs. What could possibly go wrong?It’s the old ‘thieves fall out’ set-up, but with some smart against-the-grain twists you won’t see coming. Santora is an American TV veteran who has the ability to indelibly ink in mem... moreorable characters, although he overloads the emotional dice and the plot’s a touch too schematic. But waiting for the scam to spiral out of control is all part of the fun, and there’s a satisfying rug-pull payoff.
review 2: This is, quite possibly the most entertaining book I have read all year. It is not exactly what I would call top shelf Literature, but who cares?! Great buildup to an explosive finale, somewhat cliched but very likable characters(even the douchebag young attorney/villain was engaging), and definitly written with a movie in mind. I was casting it as I read it. I have no idea why and I am not suggesting he is a good actor, and most DEFINITLY NOT a male lead in a Hollywood film I kept picturing Jerry Ferrara(Turtle from Entourage) as the Protagonist.Can someone suggest a good alternate so I don't picture Turtle as the hero next time I read this?!Oh and the ending is worth the price of addmission by itself(a little twist you will not see coming). Highly reccomended, had a "Boiler Room" with some graphic violence vibe to it. You should be able to enjoy it in two sittings easily and unlike most of these types of books it is actually memorable and will stay with you. less
