James Anthony Fratino, no matter that he is a wise cracking thief, is a very likable character, even when you don't want to like him for what he has done. His constant antics and humorous banter make you root for him even when he does wrong, which is quite often. The characters here are all well developed. The writing style is light and breezy, creating a fast-paced caper. The characters all feel real, reminding you of people you have known or witnessed in action. The plot is fast-moving, and I found myself turning the pages as fast as I could in order to find out who was behind the mysterious plot against the casino. The book gave me lots of pleasure. Imagine, a crook making me feel good. Go figure, as Jimmy Fratino likes to say.
