A Simple Plan is anything but simple. It's interesting to me because I didn't like any of the characters in this book (maybe a handful of the side characters, but not many) or any of the choices they made, yet I still enjoyed the book. I'd like to think that no one would let the thrill of having so ...
The plot of this book, deceptively simple but with rich undertones, is what made this book for me. I picked this up primarily because I was looking for a simple read. Then I got my hands on the audio book and found that I really liked the narrator, so got stuck in. The action starts pretty quic...

Hank and Jacob Mitchell and Jacob's friend Lloyd find a crashed plane in the woods. The pilot is dead but he has a duffel bag with 4.4 million dollars in it. The three men agree to sit on the money until they're sure no one is looking for it. But can they keep their mouthes shut? And what will happe...
A too simple story of crime and murder. That’s what I thought once I finished this book. I predicted each and every move of our anti-hero beforehand and was waiting for Scott Smith to catch-up. I don’t generally try to anticipate anything consciously whenever I am reading fiction as it would suck th...
Probably the most ridiculous and unbelievable book I have ever read. Despite all the rave reviews, the two lead characters are operated like mindless puppets by the author to create his idea of a thriller without doing any of the work. There is no way these two would have ever behaved this way. N...
I picked this up to fill some time and it's a real page-turner. If you've seen the movie you probably know the plot. Two brothers and a friend discover $4 million in cash in crashed plane. The moral dilemmas escalate from there as they try to hide that they have the money and then kill to keep the s...
I find it hilarious whenever I see negative reviews for this book and almost all the time, the reason for the negativity is that the reviewer thought that the main characters were stupid and made dumb decisions. If characters always made the right decisions or the smartest ones, there would be absol...
One word: INTENSE! The story of three men who find a whole bunch of money and try to keep it a secret ends up just like you think it would. No one can keep their mouth shut! Every few pages you find yourself conspiring with the narrator, Hank Mitchell, rereading the previous pages, trying to find...
It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You know just how bad it's going to be, and then it gets even worse. Gripping.
